CORONER'S INQUEST—THIS DAY.
The coroner's inquiry into the circumstances connected

SOCIAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION.

A LADIES' PARLIAMENT.

The various departments resumed their sittings
yesterday. The chief interest was centred in the
Social Ec)nomy Section, in which, under the pre-
sidency of Lord Brougham, a Ladies' Parliament
was held, to discuss the question of employment for
their sex. The section was crowded during the
whole day by a throng of ladies, who filled, not only
the area of the court, but the jury-box and the seats
for counsel, and gave the chamber very much the
appearance of the College of the " Princess" with its
rows of " fair girl graduates in their golden hair."
The gentlemen were in such a miserable minority
that they were scarcely visible, and if they were
not to be seen they certainly took good care not to
make themselves heard. Whether they were too
craven to utter their real sentiments or whether they
were converted by the soft voices of the orators,
we cannot say ; but, if the old adage holds good,
consent must be inferred from silence. Some of the
ladies, owing to the amplitude of their skirts, found
not a little difficulty in getting into the tribune:
and, when there, were at the first rather nervouansd,
dropping their voices to a confidential whisper'
searching for scraps of paper which were n e to
be found. But they soon regained their

which tend to interfere with the true sphere of

lowed with a paper on some of the drawbacks con-
nected with the present employment of women.
She attributed the inaccuracy and want of persistent
attention with which women were charged to de-
fective education. Habits of unintermittent
industry could not be expected to follow a girlhood
of negligence. She suggested the establishment of
a tribunal to examine and certify as to the attain-
, ments of women, and protested against the idea
that marriage should be a mere refuge for the desti-
tute. The system of training which she advocated
would, in her opinion, promote matrimony, because
it would furnish women with accomplishments
which would render them valuable acquisition.s:do
