collision with England's Beauty at the start, and walked
in a long way behind.
On returning to scale Plumb, the rider of Orianda,
thinking Bannockburn had won, made a complaint
against him for closing on him near the finish. When

the more complex one but as developments of rudimentary
parts existing in the more simple. Here, too, we may
perhaps trace an analogy with His dealings with man-
kind, as unfolded in His revealed word ; from which we
find that the earlier events retarded are often typical of
those more modern, and that Christianity itself is in
some sense a development of the Jewish dispensation
which preceded it."
Turning his attention next to geology, Dr. I)aubeny
said :
"This science has during the last 20 years made such
rapid strides that those who endeavoured from an
early period of life to ;follow at a humble distance the
footsteps of the great leaders in that science, obeying
the impulse of such zealous and ardent spirits as the
one now, alas by lithe inscrutable decrees of Provi.
deuce, lost to his friends and to science, who cousti.
toted the head of what was once called, I hope not
too grandiloquently, the Oxford School of Geology,
have, if I may judge of others by myself, been often
distanced in the race, and when they endeavoured to
make good their lost ground found themselves trans-
ported into a new, and, to them, almost unknown
region. Thus the thorough exploration which has taken
place of the Silurian and Cambrian systems, through the
exertions of two of our oldest and most valued associates,
has added a new province—ought I not rather to say, a
new kingdom 7—to the domain of geology, and has car-
ried back the records of the creation to a period pre-
viously as much unknown to us as were the annals of
the Assyrian dynasties before the discoveries of Sir H.
Rawlinson."
Among the principles recently regarded as axioms in
geology none seemed so little likely to be disputed as
this :--
" That the classes of animals and vegetables which
possessed the most complicated structure were preceded
by others of a more simple one ; and that when we traced
back the succession of beings to the lowest and the ear-
liest of the sedimentary formations, we arrived at length
at a class of rocks the deposition of which must be in-
ferred, from the almost entire absence of organic re-
mains, to have followed very soon after the first dawn of
creation. But the recognition of the footsteps and re-
mains of reptiles in beds of an earlier date than was
before assigned to them tended to corroborate the infer-
ences which had been previously deduced from the dis-
covery, in a few rare instances, in rocks of the secondary
age, of mammalian remains ; and this has induced cer-
tain eminent geologists boldly to dispute whether from
the earliest to the latest period of the earth's history any
gradation of beings can in reality be detected."
After touching lightly on the controversy raised among
geologists on this question, and adverting to the investi-
gations of Boussingault, Deville, and Bunsen, relative to
the gases and other bodies evolved from volcanoes in
their various phases of activity, the president glanced
cursorily at the nearly allied science of geography. The
important undertaking set on foot in connection with
this department of knowledge, and the interesting disco-
veries made in it since the last meeting of the associa-
tion, were thus briefly enumerated :

"1. Dr. Kane has extended Arctic discovery through
Smith Strait, at the head of Baffin's Bay, to about three
degrees near the Pule. 2. Mr. Kelley has announced the
result of several independent surveying expeditions des-
patched by him to the Valley of the Atrato, with a view
to the formation of a great navigable channel through
Central America, between the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans. When Humboldt directed attention to this re-
gion 50 years since he had only uncertain reports to
guide his anticipations ; and these surveys have been
the first to throw actual light upon this region. 3. An ex-
pedition has been despatched to North Australia for the
purpose of exploring the interior and tracing the extent
of the northern watershed. Its arrival at the mouth of
the Victoria River has bean announced. 4. It isproposed
by the Geographical Society to despatch an expedition to
Eastern Africa to explore the extent of the inland waters
known to exist there, and if possible to discover the long-
sought sources of the Nile. 5. The explorations in the
Rocky Mountains by several parties in South America,
in the Pacific, and elsewhere, are far too numerous to be
further alluded to."
The president then referred to the change which the sen-
timents of the public have undergone in relation to the
claims of physical science—a change, he observed, that
afforded equal ground for congratulation with the actual
progress made in those pursuits. It was gratifying to
find that the attention of the Legislature had at length
been seriously called to the consideration of what
measures of a public nature might be adopted for improv-
ing the position of science and its cultivators. The
Royal Society had appointed a body of its members to
receive suggestions'on that subject, and to report upon it,
in order that a matured plan to meet this object might
be presented to Parliament at its next session. He
also cited the School of Mines, the Ipswich Museum, the
Oxford Museum, the growing interest taken in the pro-
ceedings of that association, togethee-ajth tlainTireasing
recognition of the Thiprirtance -or 'velem, in the odusaatitaa
of youth, as gratifying signs of advancement. He
1 ioked forward, he said, with confidence to the day when
the requirements at Oxford in the departmeut of physi-
cal science would become so general and so pressing
that no institution which professed to prepare the youth
it instructed for academical competition would venture
to risk its reputation by declining to admit those branches
of study into its educational course. Having eloquently
combatted the prejudice entertained against scientific
studies on the ground that they are inimical to revealed
religion, Dr. Daubeny concluded as follows :--
,‘ We are told that in a future and a higher state of
existence the chief occupation of the blessed is that of
praising and worshipping the Almighty. But is not the
contemplation of the works of the Creator, and the study
of the ordinances of the Great Lawgiver of the universe,
in itself an act of praise and adoration ; and, if so, may
not one at least of the sources of happiness which we are
promised in a future state of existence, one of the re-
wards for a single-minded and reverential pursuit after
truth in our present state of trial, consist in a develop:
ment of our faculties, and in the power of comprehend-
ing those laws and provisions of nature with which our
finite reason does not enable us at present to become
cognisant? Such area few of the reflections which the
study of physical science, cultivated in a right spirit, na-
turally suggests ; and I ask you whether they aro not
more calculated to inspire humility than to induce con-
cait—to render us more deeply conscious how much of
the vast field of knowledge must ever lie concealed from
our view, how small a portion of the veil of Isis it is
given us to lift up—and therefore to dispose us to ac-
cept, with a more unhesitating faith, the knowledge
vouchsafed from on high on subjects which our own un-
assisted reason is incapable of fathoming. Let us not
then,' to we the words of a living prolate, think scorn
of the pleasant land. That land is the field of ancient and
modern literature, of philosophy in almost all its branches,
of the arts of reasoning and persuasion. Every part of
it may be cultivated with advantage, as the land of
Canaan when bestowed upon God's peculiar people.
They were not commanded to let it lie waste, as incur-
ably polluted by the abominations of its first inhabi-
tants ; but to cultivate it and dwell in it, living in obe-
dience
to the Divine law, and dedicating its choicest
fruits to the Lord, their God.' "

Won by a length ; half a length between the second
and third, and the same distance between the third and
fourth.

At a meeting of the Manchester. Town Council held
yesterday it was agreed to repeat the invitation given to
the British Association a few years ago to visit that city.
The intention is to invite the association ti hold its
meeting in 1857 at Manchester, and a committee of the
town council was nominated for that purpose. The op-
portunity is understood to be favourable, because it has
transpired that at Dublin the magnificent hall at Trinity
College, where the association were to meet in 1857 if
they accepted the invitation from that city, will not be
completed in time. This being the case, it will pro-
bably be more convenient to Dublin to postpone its claim,
and as the exhibition of art treasures at Manchester will
then he open, the meetinfy there would afford the mem-
bers of the British Association a favourable opportunity
of visiting this collection of works of art at the same
time. The literary and other societies of Manchester
will join in the invitation.

EXTRA MAITTCODCMIINICATION WITH DIJBLIN.—The
Government and the Chester and Holyhead Company
are in communication upon the question of an increased
number of mail trains along that line ; and the former
are also desirous of a greater speed being attained by
the mails than at present, and for this arrangement they
are willing to enlarge the yearly quota. The question
of the sea transit is also engaging attention, as it is well
known that, with a better clas of boat, nearly a couple
of hours could be saved, and the communication between
London and Dublin brought within the compass of half
a day. The distance is 60 miles between Holyhead and
Dublin, which at present takes five hours to perform.
Under the new arrangement with the London and North-
Western the charges for working the line will be mate-
rially diminished, and cheap excursion trains to Ire-
land are under consideration.

INTEBESTINCt INCIDENT..The Gloucestershire ,l ro.
nick says—A. strange circumstance has been communi-
cated to us as having lately been revealed in an ancient
borough near this city. Several years ago, a young
man, the son of respectable parents, left home, and as
months and years passed away, and nothing was heard
of him, his father and mother mourned him as dead.
Occasionally, however, a beam of hope would flash across
their minds that one day the wanderer would return ;
and many a toil-worn wayfarer received relief at their
hands, with the hope that should their son be still
alive, and in distress, some one might be found to
minister to his necessities. A few years ago the
father died, and a stone was placed on his grave, on
which the death of the son was inscribed in addition to
that of the father. One day this week, however, the
aged mother received a letter from her son, written
about two months ago, and stating that he had amassed
a considerable fortune in the new world of enterprise at
the antipodes, and that be hoped, in the course of a few
weeks at the furthest, to revisit his native town, when
ha would
porn-1,,1s wealth into the lap of his
mother for,the gra,tification of sane more tieoipg tier.
