partially to all such normal schools an equal incentive
to exertion, by requiring efficiency in a sufficient num-
ber of the studies pursued in them.

" 1. That the trustees and managers of the school
provide the master with a house rent free, and a fur-
ther salary, equal at least to twice the amount of this
grant.
" 2. That the trustees annually certify that his cha-
racter, conduct, and attention to his duties are satis-
factory. _ _

" 3. That the inspector report that his school is effi-
cient in its organisation, discipline, and instructi.n.
'4 On the tame conditions their Lordships will grant,
in aid of the salaries of schoolmistresses appointed to
schools under their inspection, who obtain similar certi-
ficates in a normal school, two-thirds of the sums to
be awarded to schoolmasters for each year's certificate
of merit.

" That a retiring pension may be granted by the Com-
mittee of Council to any schoolmaster or schoolmistress

continuing to teach a school efficiently.
" Provided that no such pension shall be granted to
any schoolmaster or schoolmistress who shall not have
conducted a normal or elementary school for fifteen years,
during seven at least of which such school shall have
been under inspection.
" That in all cases of application for pensions a report
shall be required from the inspector, and from the
trustees and managers of the schools, as to the character
and conduct of the applicants, and the manner in which
the education of the pupils under their charge has been
carried on.

" The amount of the pension shall be determined ac-
cording to such report, but shall in no case exceed two•
thirds of the average amount of the salary and emolu-
ments annually received by the applicant during the
period that the school had been under inspection.
" A minute of the grant of every such pension, and
of the grounds on which it has been awarded, shall be
published in their Lordships' minutes."

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

It'would seem that, previous to the soldiers being ordered
to disperse the mob, they suffered a continuous and most
aggravating series of assaults from the crowd, and not a few
of them were wounded. Some of the women seized staves, with
which they struck the solders ; one, in particular, struck an
officer thrice, when she received a pretty severe sword cut.
Stones were also thrown from various directions. A great
many were wounded by the bayonets of the soldiers, but no
serious injury was done to any by this means.
Fonts o'CLocK, r.m.—A public meeting of the
electors has just been held, at which resolutions on the sub-

DISEASE.

The following communication from his Grace the
Duke of Portland. relative to the re appearance of the
potato disease, will be found worthy of consideration:—
" Sir,--It is certain that the potato disylve has again
appeared in the same manner as it appeared last year at
this season. No man, therefore, in common prudence,
can depend upon a crop of that root this summer. I ven-
ture, with great confidence, to provide a substitute—viz.,
the Swedish turnip. Till within these six weeks I was
not aware that Swedish turnips were good human food,
much superior to the common turnip. I have since
eaten them, and I think theta much more substantial
food than potatoes. Having had much experience in
the use of potatoes as food for cattle, I am sure that
Swedish turnips are the better food of the two. In point
of quantity they yield largo. crops. I have grown here
twenty-two tons per acre. I have no doubt that in
milder climates larger crops may be obtained. The cul-
tivation of the turnip is less expensive; comparatively,
the seed costs almost nothing. As they need not be
sown very early in the spring, they do not suffer from
early frosts; and in the autumn and winter no frost will
hurt them. Ido not know that on the same land they
will bear repetition continually, as potatoes will; they
are also liable in sand lands to be hurt by the grub.
These two last are the only disadvantages to which they
are liable. When well cultivated, on the whole I con-
sider them a superior crop, and to be preferred, even if
there was no such thing as a potato disease.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.

MARCH 3.—At a congregation appointed for this morning,
at eleven o'clock, the grecious answer of his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, Chancellor Elect, to the letter announcing
his Royal Highness's election into that office, was read to the
Senate :

" Mr. Vice. Chancellor, and Gentlemen
eldthmaenkofytohue
rfesorultthoef kaitned
rteeerments i
of the Senate,—
fyo•oruthheave
election e whichcti naP
Chan-
cellorship of the University of C •
Cambridge.
" I need scarcely observe, after so recent and public a de-
claration of my sentiments and feelings with regard to my
nomination as a candidate for that office, that the proceed-
ings which have subsequently taken place have been entirely
without my sanction or privity.
" The intention to propose me as a candidate was not
known tome until a period when the time for the election was
at hand, and when the arrangements for ascertaining the
sense of the University were already completed.
" I could only have suspended their progress by a peremp-
tory declaration, that under no circumstances would I con-
sent, if elected, to accept the office of Chancellor; and such a
declaration I did not deem it respectful to the University to
make.
" The election has now terminated ; and a maj rity of the
University, including a very great number of its members
most eminent for their services to the Church, to the Uni-
versity, and to the cause of literature and science, has de-
clared itself in favour of my appointment to the vacant office.
" It is incumbent therefore, upon me to notify without
delay the course which, under these circumstances, I shall
pursue.
"I have resolved to accept the trust which the University
is willing to confide in me.
"In forming this decision I have been influenced by a
respectful deference to the wishes of a majority of its mem-
bers, by a great unwillingness to involve the University in
the probable necessity of another contest, but, above all, by
an earnest hope that through a zealous and impartial dis-
charge of the trust which I undertake, I shall succeed in
establishing a claim on the confidence and good-will of the
whole academical body. "ALBERT.

might have been fro . ccording L o the letter of the treaty
that would not have been acting in consistency
with the justice of the _ase, because the power which
had separated, Belgium was favoured by England. For
England, therefore, to say, though she had favoured and en-
couraged the separating party, that, as the union between the
two countries was not at an end, she would declare .L.erself free
from the obligaticn and arrangement she had made with Russia
—for England to ant thus would have be: is to make a dangerous
evasion of that which is tist and right, and I would have had
no part in it.—( Hear, hear.) But she had not done so.
Though she was free according to the letter of the old agree-
ment, she made a new one, and agreed to continue the pay-
ment of the interest on the debt. The real ground for con-
tinuing the payment was, that Russia had been guaranteed
the payment of the debt by England at the time of
the union between Belgium and Holland ; but the
union not being maintained, and England being
a party to the separation, she considered she was
in justice still bound to pay thy interest of the debt. But un-

doubtedly, at the same time, the words of the convention were
the same ;Is those contained in theresolution, and it was stipu-
lated in it that the payment of the interest on the debt should
he on condition of the general arrangements of the treaty of
Vienna being adhered to.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

Much has been hitherto said in reference to the
liability of provisional committeemen, and many
views of the case have been given forth to the public
on both sides. It is a question that involves a vast
amount of capita], and one deserving of the most
serious consideration.

Upon this question of liability we find some of the
learned occupants of the judicial bench differing from
others, laying duwn the law in various ways, and,
what is still more anomalous, we find the same judge
ruling one way at one time and differently at another—
one holding " that provisional committeemen are
liable," another " the reverse ;" but, unfortunately,
those judges who conscientiously believed in their
just liability, refusing to be governed by their own
judgment, because their brethren in another court
take a different view of the case. It is really time
that the law should be laid down and finally settled,
that the English public may know what is and what
is not the law.
