FRANKFORT.

In the sitting of the German Parliament of the
25th, the following sections of the fundamental rights
were carried :

" Section 19. Instruction and education are alto-
gether under the superintendence of the State.
" The right of receiving a general education, such
as men and citizens require, is guaranteed to the
German youth in the form of adequate public schools.
"No one may leave the youth committed to his
care without that degree of instruction which is pre-
scribed for the lower class of schools for the people.
" The matter of instruction and education is alto-
gether divested of the superintendence of the clergy,
as clergy.
" Public teachers have the rights of servants of the
State. Communes (or communities) choose their
teachers in the public schools from among those who
have been tested."—Carried. Ayes, 176; noes, 147.
Nothing is paid for the instruction in the public
schools, nor in the lower class of schools of industry.
Free instruction shall be given to the indigent in all
public establishments of education. There shall be no
poor schools.
"Each parish (or commune) pays its teachers
adequately ; and to this end the State helps poorer
parishes (or communities).

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—In addition to the
usual course of instructive lectures and entertaining ex-
hibitions at this establishment, a grand phantasmagoria,
upon a scale hitherto unattempted, has been prepared.
The views, as exhibited to the spectators, cover a space
of some thirty feet square, and moving figures are intro
duced in a very ingenious manner. The colours and
various effects are admirably developed, and the whole
exhibition was loudly applauded by the audience last
evening assembled.
It is understood the Bank of England hare made
some advances on Exchequer bills until the middle
of October, at the rate of 3 per cent., obviously
with the usual view of equalising the circulation as much
as possible in connexion with the payment of the divi-
dends.

THE NEW FRENCH CONSTITUTION.---A new cari-
cature has appeared in Paris, representing Armand
Marrast in the year 1888. The venerable president, his
eyes protected by a green shade, and holding a bell with
a feeble hand, is addressing the following words to an
assembly of old men fast asleep .—" The sitting of to-
morrow will again be devoted to the discussion on the
Constitution. Come, gentlemen, we molt at length have
done with it."
