LITERARY ITEMS.—Mr. Bayard Taylor has ac-
cepted a non-resident profesiorship of German literature
at the Cornell University, where ho will deliver next
March a series of • lectures.—Mr. John Tyler, son of ex-
President Tyler, is writing a series of essays on " The
Course of Commerce during the First Historical Cycle of
Human Eventualities. It is thought that it will be light
reading for those on their holiday "summer tour," and is
generally recommended by the American press Cs well
calculated to relax an overstrained mind. Bat ja lging
from the extracts given, we are inclined to think that iu
a happy state of vacancy the raader would drop off to
sleep, a page being sufficient to ensure a nap. If we had
not so many authors in the same style, these essays might
be at least as valuable on this silo of the Atl ntic. —Mrs.
Stowe's " Oldtown Folks" has reached a soli of 23,000
copies.—A pamphlet has been issued in New York on the
"Dietetic Means of Reducing Superfluous Fat."

JOINT STOCK COMPANIES ARRANGEMENT
BILL.
The Earl of . LICHFIELD moved the second reading
of this bill, the object of which was to give power to three"
fourths of th 3 members and value of any Joint SO°t
Companies to make arrangements to prevent litigatl°l3
connected with winding up their concerns.
Lord REDLSDALE opposed the motion, as the ID":
sure bad arrived at their lordships' house too late to 01)
taro the necessary consideration.

—•
After a few words from Lord KIMBERLEY and
LORD CIIA.NCELLOIt the order for the second reading 1138
discharged.

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH BILL.
The Marquis of LANS DO WNE, in moving the sec° t
reading of this bill, proceeded to give a detailed stateulend
of the provisions of the bill now under consideration, An
also the tetras upon which the existing telegraph COw
parries wore to be taken over by the Government.
Tho bill was accordingly read a second time.
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES (ANDIALs) BILL.
On the motion that this, bill do pass,
The Marquis of SALISBURY moved the insertion of t;
clause allowing railway companies to charge for the cost°,
disinfecting cattle in transit. He contended that it %cad
but fair that whilst the companies were prevented
raising their fares beyond the recognised Ugull
they ought to bo allowed to charge for ill:
creased services. The railway companies had 101
had two additional charges cast upon them during the IsB..
year—viz., the cost of providing smoking carriages and tlici°
communication with the guard, and as those hi!,
led to much expense being incurred, it would be but ill
that the present amendment should be inserted in the Di
ll
Earl DE GREY opposed the insertion of the clause,
which, however, was not pressed, and the bill according','
passed.
