INNS OF COURT.

The Council of Legal Education have issued the fol-
lowing rules for the public examination of the students
in Michaelmas Term, 1856 :
" As an inducement to students to propose themselves
for examination, studentships shall be founded of 50 gui-
neas per annum each, to continue for a period of 3 years,
and one such studentship shall be conferred on the most
distinguished student at each public examination; and,
further, the examiners shall select and certify the names
of three other students, who shall have passed the next best
examinations ; and the inns of court to which such stu-
dents belong may, if desired, dispense with any terms, not
exceeding two, that may remain to be kept by Bud:stu-
dents previously to their being called to the bar ; provided
that the examiners shall not be obliged to confer or grant
any studentship or certificate unless they shall be of opi-
nion that the examination of the students they select has
been such as entitles them thereto.
" At every call to the bar those students who have
passed a public examination, and either obtained a student-
ship or a certificate of honour, shall take rank in seniority
over all other students who shall be called on the same day.
"No students shall be eligible to be called to the bar
who shall not either have attended during one whole year
the lectures of two of the ruatclers cr have satisfactorily
passed a public examination.
" Rules for the Public Examination of Candidates for
Honours or Certificates Entitling Students to bo called
to the Bar :

" An examination will be held in Michaelmas Term
next, to which a student of any of the Inns of Court who
is desirous of becoming a candidate for a studentship or
honour, or of obtaining a certificate of fitness for being
called o the bar, will be admissible.
" Each student proposing to submit himself for exami-
nation will be requireii to outer his name at the-Treasurer's
office of the Inn of Chart to which he belongs on or before
the 23d Oct. next, and he will further be required to state
in writing whether his object in offering himself for exami-
nation is to compete for a studentship, or other honourable
distinction, or whether he is merely desirous of obtaining
a certificate preliminary to a call to the bar.
" The examination will commence on Thursday, the
30th Oct. next, and will be continued on the Friday and
Saturday following.
" It will take place in the Mencliers' reading-room of
Lincoln's-inn, and the doors will be closed 10 minutes after
the time appointed for the commencement of the examina-
tion.
"The examination by printed questions will be conducted
in the following order :
"Thursday morning, the 30th of October, at half-past 9
o'clock, on Constitutional Law and Legal History ; in the
afternoon, at half-past 1 o'clock, on Equity.
" Friday morning, the 31st of October, at half-past 9
o'clock, on Common Law ;in the afternoon, at half-past 1
o'clock, on the Law of Real Property,. &c.
" Saturday morning, the Ist of November, at half-past 9
o'clock, on Jurisprudence and the Civil Law ; in the after-
noon, at half-past 1 o'clock, a paper will be given to the
students, including questions bearing upon all the fore-
going subjects of examination.
"The oral examination will be conducted in the same
order, during the same hours, and on the same subjects as
those already marked out for the examination by printed
questions, except that on Saturday afternoon there will be
no oral examination.

" The oral examination of each student will be conducted
apart from the other students, and the character of that
examination will vary according as the student is a candi-
date for honours or a studentship, or desires simply to ob-
tain a certificate.

" The oral examination and printed questions will be
founded on the books below mentioned, regard being had,
however, to the particular object with a view to which
the student presents himself for examination.
" In determining the question whether a student has
passed the examination in such a manner as to entitle him
to be called to the bar the examiners will principally have
regard to the general knowledge of law and jurisprudenCe
which he has displayed.
" A student may present himself at any number of exa-
minations until he shall have obtained a certificate.
"Any student who shall obtain a certificate may pre-
sent himself a second time as a candidate for the student-
ship, but only at one of the three examinations imme-
diately succeeding that at which he shall have obtained
such certificate; provided, that if any student so presenting
himself shall not succeed in obtaining the studentship, his
name shall not appear in the list.
"Students who have kept more than 11 terms shall not
be admittted to an examination for the studentship.

[Ainsummand—The following is not the least remark-
able among the numerous extraordinary cures without medi-
cine effected by Du Barry's delicious Health-Restoring Re-
valenta Arabica Food, of Indigestion (Dyspepsia), Flatulency,
Constipation, Nervous, Bilious,and Liver Complaints, Couz,h,
Asthma, Consumption, and Debility:—Maastricht, Holland,
Aug. 7,1854.--My daughter Virginie had long been consump-
tive, with diarrhoea and night sweats, and was in July last reduc-
ed to such a state of prostration and exhaustion, that our medi-
cal men agreed there was no hope of recovery left, and that
she could not survive many days. Upon the recommenda-
tion of a friend, we tried Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica,
which, to the astonishment of all, caused an immediate
change for the better in the symptoms. After the first few
meals she felt less miserable, and iu six days the diarrhoea
and night sweats had left her. She gained strength gradu-
ally, and in two months time was perfectly well. This excel-
lent remedy deserves to be more generally known, and
I consider I am only discharging a most sacred
duty iu recommending it to all sufferers.-5. ZEOUERS.

Naval and Military intelligence.

The Earl of Cardigan, as Inspector-General of Cavalry,
visited Maidstone yesterday. His lordship arrived by an
early train, and proceeded to the Cavalry Depot, where
the men were inspected in horse and foot drill. His lord-
ship then witnessed the officers' drill in the riding,-school,
and returned to town in the afternoon, accompanied to
the station by Col. Griffiths, commandant of the Depot.
H.M. sloop Express, Commander Boys, arrived at
Spithead on Monday evening from the Brazils after an
absence from England of fire' years and three months.
She left Rio Janeiro on the 19th of July, being towed
out of the harbour by the boats of the French, Ameri-
can, and English sqnadrons, and on the 24th of August
touched at Fayal and procured some fresh provisions,
which were very necessary for her debilitated ship's
company. She sailed from Fayal on the following
day, but was detained in the channel by easterly winds
and calms. She brought a small mail from Rio de
Janeiro, and the following passengers :—Lieut. E. Kelly,
from the Siren, on promotion ; Mr. Carstairs, Acting
Boatswain, from the Siren, for the disposal of the Ad-
miralty; and 11 invalids—viz., Mr. G. M. Sbacklock,
Master, from the Siren ; Mr. D. H rn, Boatswain, from
the Indefatigable ; 1 seaman hnd 2 boys from the Pearl,
2 men and 1 boy from the Sampson, 1 ropemaker and 1
marine from the Siren ; also Mr. M. Robinson, Acting
Assistant-Surgeon of the Indefatigable, lent to do duty
on the passage home, on account of he illness of Mr.
Sole, Surgeon. The Express was commissioned in June,
1851, by Commander Head, who died of yellow fever at
Bahia in May, 1853. She was first sent to the West
India station, and employed in protecting British in-
terests, &e., at Greytown, Mosquito. She was ordered
from that station to the south-east coast of America, on
account of Commander Peed having compelled an me-
rican steamer (the Prometheus) to pay the port dues at
Greytown, which occasioned a correspondence between
the two Governments. She arrived at Rio de Janeiro in
May, 1852, and has been incessantly cruising since
then for the suppression of the slave-trade, having
visited every place on the coast, from the Falkland
Islands,.as far as Para (in the river Amazon). When at
the Falkland Islands, in. January, 1854, she again came
into collision with the Americans ; some whale ships of
that nation having been in the habit of killing pigs and
satt'e on the island without a licence, the Express was
sent to afford assistance to the governor by arresting the
delinquents, and, in prosecuting this duty, she was in-
terfered with by the United States' corvette German-
town. The correspondence with the captain of that ship
was of such a nature that it had referred to our Govern.

merit for settlement. Daring the time the Express was
oo the Brazil station she suffered much from sickness,
principally dysentery and yellow fever. In May last,
when at sea, the fever broke out very violently ; six died
before her return to Rio, on the Ist June, and 41 officers
and men were on that date sent to the Fever Hospital
of St. Isabel, in Juruguba•bay, Rio de Janeirb ; ,seven
men died at that place, including Lieut. W. G. Sewell
and Assistant-Surgeon Soden. She returns home with
only one officer (Mr. George Richards, master), 16 sea-
men, and two marines, who left England in her.

on Monday evening from Portsmouth for Chatham to
be paid off.
The Government transport Diligence has arrived at
Woolwich and entered the basin to embark stores for the
home stations.

The new iron screw-steamer the Balaklava has arrived
at Woolwich. This vessel was built by Messrs. T. and
W. Smith, of Newcastle (who also .built the Chasseur
steam-floating factory), for the special service of the
Ordnance Department of Woolwich Arsenal. She was
on Monday despatched on a trial trip round the Nore
Lights, and carried a light ballast of 35 tone of guns.
She went beautifully down the river, having the Ord-
nance colnurs flying at the main, and Mr. Pellatt and
family as passengers. Notwithstanding the disadvan-
tage under which the vessel worked, by the pro-
peller being only partially immersed, she accom-
plished the trip at the average rate of ten knots an
hour. The following are her dimensions :—Length be-
tween perpendiculars, 140 feet ; •breadth, 20 feet 6
inches ; depth of hold, 24 feet 6 inches ; tonnage
(blinder's), 272'32-94. She is supplied with engines of

The following instructions have been received at
Woolwich by the Aoting-Commandant of the Royal
Marines, Colonel Hawkins, and registered in garrison
orders :—" The. Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty
have bad under consideration the 3d and 4th articles
and schedule B of an act for limiting the time of service
in the Royal Marine forces, framed July 2, 1E47, which
provide that any Marine, at any time during the last six
months during the term of limited service for which he
shall have been first engaged, or alter the completion of
such term, may be re-engaged to serve for the further
term of 12 years in the Royal Marine forces, and that
I-
ha ,5t...11 required to complete a period of 21 years'
service to entitle him to a pension on discharge. 2.
With respect to those provisions, their Lordships have
been pleased to signify that a provision will be intro-
duced into the next Marine Mutiny Act for limiting
service in the corps of Royal Marines to 21 years. Their
Lordships have been further pleased to direct that it is
to be publicly notified at the several divisional head-
quarters that no man will be called upon to re-engage
for a longer t,:rni than, with his first enlistment, will
complete 21 years' service, when he will be entitled to
the same pension to be enjoyed by other branches of the
service ; and the commandants of divisions will there-
foie give publicity to their Lordships' commands ac.
cordingly."
