A Hamburg letter of the 13th says :—" Our free town
does not yet form part of the German Zollverein ; the pro-
bability is, however, we shall enter it when the commercial
treaty with France shall be put into execution, This
question interests us in the highest degeee, and our Cham-
ber of Commerce, which is composed of notabilities of the
commercial world, has recently issued a circular on the
great advantages which the Franco-German Treaty of
Commerce would undoubtedly present for German industry.
This circular, which is reproduced by all the great German
journals, has victoriously refuted the objections raised by
the Protectionist party, and there is no difficulty, after hay-
ing read it, in understanding that movement of public
opinion which is taking place in the North as well as in the
South of Germany in favour of the establishment of better
conditions for our trade with France."

1 PROFESSOR WILSON.—His appearance .11
for-
class-room it is far easier to remember than to f.
get. He strode into it with the Professor's
egown hanging
loosely upon his arms, took a comprehenssiov look over the
as to be out of
mob of young faces, laid down his watchgocdatdethfoul notesseraposf
the reach of his sledge-hammer fist,
of t ose who had
his lecture, generally written on
the
men f h
of paper, and then, to the bewi
an
never heard him before, looked long earnestly out of
the north window towards the spire of the old Tron Kirk,
until, having at last got his idea, he faced round and uttered
it with eye and hand, and voice and soul, and spirit, and
bore the class along wi h him. As he spoke, the bright
blue eye looked with strange gaze into vacancy, sometimes
sparkling with a coming joke, sometimes darkening before
a rush of indignant eloquence ; the tremulous upper lip
curving with every wave of thought or hint of passion, and
the golden grey hair floating on the old man's mighty
shoulders, if, indeed, thet could be called age which seemed
but the immortality of a more majesti3 youth, And occa-
sionally, in the finer phrenzy of his morn imaginative pas-
sages —as when he spoke of Alexanler clay-cold at Babylon
with the world lying conquered around his tomb, or of the
Highland hills that pour their rage of cataracts adown their
riven clefts, or even of the human mind with its primaeval
granitic truths—the grand old face flushed with the proud
thought, and the eyes grew dim with tears, and the magni-
ficent frame quivered with the universal emotion. It was
something to have seen Professor Wilson—this, all con-
fessed ; but it was something also, but more than is gene-
rally understood, to have studied under him.

eyebrows.
