POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY.

State the different meanings of the phrase "value of
money," and the causes which determine the value of
money in each sense. How has the ambiguity of this
phrase given colour to a serious misconception respect-
ing the rate of interest ?

Is rent an element in the cost of production.
State the connection, if any, between the price of pro.
visions and the rate of wages.

LOGIC.

Mr. Mill considers the Dictuni de Omni as being pecu-
liarly related to the system of Realism.
Is it not, from its nature, equally compatible with
Nominalism and Conceptualism, and, indeed, with any
and every metaphysical system ?
State the substance of the controversy between Real-
ism, Nominalism, and Conceptualism ? What is the
characteristic defect of each system ?—Sntith, Elder, and
Co.'s Overland Mail.

THE LATE GALE AT BRIGHTON.—The body of young
Grinyer, one of the unfortunate crew of the Four Sisters,
has been discovered. A public meeting was held on
Monday, convened by the mayor, for the purpose of re-
lieving the sufferers in the late disastrous gale. A
committee was formed for carrying out the objects of
the meeting. Several subscriptions were received in the
room, and the mayor also announced that he had re-
ceived nearly 501. His worship has arranged for sub-
scriptions to be received in London on account of Hall,
West, and Co., Union Bank, Brighton, at Jones Loyd
and Co., and at the London and County Batik, on ac-
count of the Brighton branch. Mr. Nye Chart, the
lessee of the Brighton theatre, has announced a theatri-
cal performance for the above laudable object on Friday
next.

METROPOLITAN.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at the London Tavern, Mr. Ayrton in the chair.
Mr. HENCHMAN, the secretary, read the notice conven-
ing the meeting, and the report, an abstract of which ap-
peared in The SUII of yesterday.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said it had furnished them with an account of their
finances, and he need not tell them that the expenses were
exceedingly small. The sum of 71,2501. deposited with the
Accountant-General was invested in Consols and Exchequer
Bills; and should they realise par for them they would
produce 81,8901. The interest on that sum had fully
covered their expenses for the half-year. That fund would
be hell by the Accountant-General until half the capital
of the company was expended on the undertaking. As
there were many new shareholders present, he thought it
as well to mention the course of the line. It would com-
mence at Westbaurne-terrace, near the Great Western
Railway terminus, then pass along under a miserable lot
of houses to the Edgeware-road ; there was a small block
of houses to purchase there. They would then run along
under the New-road, for which they would have nothing
to pay, up to King's•cross; the property they would meet
with there was not very valuable. They would then pass
through a largo property with four lines of rails, which
they would be allowed to do by the owners. They would
next come upon a large block of 10 acres, upon which the
prison now stood, and instead of which they would build
a prison in another place. They would then come into
Victoria-street, cross under Smithfield, and land opposite
the General Post-office, where they would have a station.
There could be no doubt that the traffic would be some-
thing enormous. The line would be about four miles in
length, it would join the Great Western station, and pass
close to the London and North-Western and Great
Northern Railway stations. In order to redeem the pledge
the directors had given the shareholders on a former occa-
sion, not to call up any portion of the capital without first
obtaining their consent, he would have to submit a resolu-
tion for authorising the directors to meke calls. (Cheers.)

The report was unanimously adopted, and a resolution
was passed authorising tho directors to commence active
operations, and to call up the capital of the company for
the purpose of carrying out the undertaking.
The meeting thon separated.

BOSTON, SLEAFORD, AND MIDLAND COUNTIES.
Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this company was
held at the Easton Hotel, Easton-square ; Mr. Ingram,
M.P., in the chair.
The report stated that the works as far as Grantham
were in progress, and that there was every probability of
the line being opened so far by the first of May, 1857. The
total receipts on account of capital amounted to 34,2411.,
of which there hid been expended in the construction of
the line 23,4501., and there remained a balance of 10,7911.
On the reception of the report the proceedings termi-
nated.

THE BRITISH ARCILEOLOGICAL

ASSOCIATION.

BRIDGEWATER, AUG. 26.
The house in which Admiral Blake .was born was one
of the principal objects of interest in yesterday's inspec-
tion of the remains of old Bridgewater. The room in which
the gallant admiral first saw light was pointed out by the
lady who is the present occupant of the house. Little
change has been made in the arrangement of the place.
Last evening there was a meeting in the Town ball
which was very numerously attended. Mr. Pettigrew
presided, when a paper was read by Mr. G. Parker, an
inhabitant of Bridgewater, on the antiquities of the town.
After which Mr. Planche read a very interesting paper
on the origin of the two branches of the family of St.
Maur's, or Seymours, Earls and Dukes of S omerset, and
the Beaufort family.
This morning, the weather being extremely fine,
punctually at 9 o'clock the company left the Clarence
Hotel and proceeded in several carriages to Glaston-
bury, and thence to Wells, for the purpose of inspecting
the abbey and cathedral.
Dr. Beattie had prepared a paper on G'astonbury
Abbey, which was read.
Tne company
having minutely inspected the ruins, the
journey was continued to Wells, and there the attractions
were first, of course, the cathedral, the close, the palace,
and St. Cuthbert's Church, which is of the third pointed
period, some portions of it being even of an earlier time.
Its tower is generally esteemed to be the finest in Somer-
setshire. Frescoes were discovered in it in 1851, the
most finished of which was a life-size figure of the Sa-
viour clad in a russet coloured garment, with a red cloak
on his shoulders. In his left hand was an orb, sur-
mounted with a cross ; his right hand was used in bone-
diction ; his feet were here. " I 'II C M 'C Y," in Ger-
man text, was ten times repeated on the ground of the
fresco, at the foot of which was written " Salvator
Mandl."
Mr. Pettigrew, F.R,S , vice-president of the associa-
tion, contributed a paper on Wells Cathedral, in the
course of which was given a letter which he had received
from Mr. John Britton, the antiquarian, who is now in
the 87th year of his age, upon the " City of Wells."
Several ladies were amongst the excursionists. This
evening there will be a meeting in the Town-hall.

The Nord states that the Countess de Barnin (Fanny
Elssler) has gone to Loddon, to meet Prince Adalbert
of Prussia, whose morganatic wife she is.

Swift, writing in the year 1710, says Amongst us
there seems to have been a barrenness of invention in
this point of party names, the words Whig and Tory,
although they are not much above 30 years old, having
bee❑ pressed to the service of many successions of par-
ties with very different ideas fastened to them."
Explain the origin of the words " Whig " and "Tory,"
and examine the truth of Swift's statement by consider-
ing the principles of Whig and Tory parties from the pe-
riod fixed by Lim down to the year 1775.

DEATH OF Mn, BAIIMANN.—We regret to anncunce
the death, on the 20th inst., of this remarkable musical
genius. Mr. Baumann, after an arduous season at the
Royal Italian Opera, had gone for rest and relaxation
to the Isle of Wight, where he was attacked by the
complaint which has terminated so fatally. Mr. Bau-
mann was an accomplished musician, and his death will
leave a place in the orchestra which it will be difficult
to supply. He was a member of the Ancient Concerts,
the Philharmonic Concert, and her Majesty's Theatre
for nearly twenty years. He was highly tsteemed by
Mr. Costa, who pronounced him not only an unequalled
performer on his special instrument the hautboy, but a!so
a fine Entuicia,u, p3s3sied of
_equal judgment and good
taste.

THAMES.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.--John Prendergast, an Irish-
man about 40 years of age, was brought before Mr.
Selfe, charged with assaulting and wounding Mary
Welch, his sister, who appeared to have been brutally
beaten about the head and face. She had also received a
wound of some extent on the nose, herlips were cut, and
she had lost three of her teeth from the brutal violence
of her brother.

The complainant said that her brother came to her
dwelling No. 7, Stepney Causeway, yesterday morning,
and after pushing the door in asked if the murderer wag
there, and called her a murdering b w and
other bad names. She begged of him to go away and
let her be at peace, on which he attacked her with
great fury, and then beat her about the head, face,
and body with his flit, and also dislodged three
of her teeth from her mouth. He also struck
her with a sharp instrument and wounded her on
the nose, and when she fell he kicked her. She had
been under medical treatment all night, and was very
weak from loss of blood. In answer to Mr. Selfe, the
complainant said her brother wanted her to make a false
representation to a loan society, to enable him to borrow
a loan, which she refused to do, and that was the cause
of his hostility towards her. He made a disturbance at
her d welling five weeks ago, and he then beat her. She
was Lreised all over her body. She had kept her bro-
ther three months w hen he left Ireland, and had been a
good sigter to him. This was the way he requited her
kindness.

Michael Carey cot firmed the evidence of Mrs. Welsh,
and said that he was knocked down by the prisoner
when he went to bar protection.

The prisoner put in a long written statement, and
told a long and inoob erent story, the substance of which
was that his sister had murdered his wife three months
ago by frightening :her, turning her blood into water,

CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS.

The following are a few of the questions given at tl,e
last examination for the East India Company's Civil
Service :

ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE.

Sir Philip Sydney says, "I never heard the old song
of Percy and Douglas, that I found not my heart moved
more than with a trumpet ; and yet it is sung by some
old crowder, with no rougher voice than rude style ;
which being so evil apparelled in the dust and cobweb
of that uncivil age, what would it work trimmed in the
gorgeous eloquence of Pindar I"
What are the characteristics of popular, as distin-
guished from more refined and artificial, poetry ? Is the
conclusion of Sir Philip Sydney just? Why do the
rugged verses of " Chevy Chase" still " move our
hearts," while Cowley's " Pindaric," are forgott n ?
Take any poem of Milton's, Pope's, Gray's, Cow-
per's, Wordsworth's, Campbell's, or Tennyson'a ; give
an outline of the argument, and note any lines or
phrases which have passed into the current literature of
the language. _ _

Enumerate in order the principal English authors,
poets, historians, theologians, philosophers, and writers
of wit and humour. Mark those who have exercised
great influence on our language, and indicate by a single
term the qualities for which each is in other respects re-
markable.

American flour, corn, and cornmeal have arrived in
large quantities'. but, notwLbstanding this, flour to-day

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

The whole system of waterworks at the Crystal Palace
was again displayed on Saturday. The weather was upon
the whole favourable, though not all that could be wished,
there being a little too much wind, and a total absence
of sunlight, upon which, with calm, the exhibition de-
pends for its full effect. Some 9,000 people were pre-
sent to witness the spectacle, a small number compared
with that which it attracted on previous occasions, but
attributable to the almost complete abandonment of
London at this year by persons with means and leisure
at their command. Fortunately, just as the display
began, the wind, which was from the N.E., and cold,
slightly abated, and, but for the want of sunlight, we do
not know that it was ever seen to greater advantage.
The grand fountains in the lower basins rushed upwards
to almost their full altitude before they were broken into
spray, at. d the innumerable jets d'eau with which they
are sdrrounded played throughout with the greatest
vigour in all their beauty and •diversity of design. The
display commenced at half-past 4 o'clock and lasted half-
an-hour. The greater part of the company, as usual,
witnessed it from the more elevated portions of the pla-
teau separating the lower basins from the part of the
grounds assigned to the exhibitim of the extinct animals,
and from the adjacent terraces and sloping banks, and
nothing seemed to detract from their enjoyment but the
cold wind into which the summer heat of the previous
part of the day suddenly subsided.
