THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF VALENTINE
DUVAL.

Edited by the Author of " Mary PowelL"

"It is a work worth reading ; its subject is one of never-
failing interest. There are not many instances of pursuit of
knowledge under difficulties that are more intrinsiaally good
and agreeable
.to read about than that of the poor orphan
French peasant Duval. In this character we find much that
we seek in vain in many other self-taught, self-raised men."

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

EXETER COLLEGE.

Foun• oens.-•-A Silver Challenge Cup having been pre-
sented to the college by the Hon. It. H. Meade, to be rowed
for in four-oared boats, it,was decided that the races should
be rowed on Thursday, Nov. 22, and that they should be
time races. The following are the heats and order of
starting :—Mr. Wilberforce's boat and Mr. Hoare's boat :
A very close race ensued, in which Mr. Wilberforce's boat
was vanquished by about two seconds. In the next heat
Mr. Merriman, having won the toss, chose the first place,
Mr. Hammersley thereby taking the second. It was evi-
dent that Mr. Merriman had the race entirely in his own
hands from the commencement. In the final heat Mr.
Hoare obtained first place, and Mr. Merriman second place.
Mr. Merriman gained the start, and nearly bumped Mr.
Hoare under the Willows. Mr. Merriman thereby obtained
a tolerably easy victory. The following are the names of
the crew : _ _ _

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY BOAT CLUB.

FOUR .OARED RACES.—TIME RICE.—The time raco took
place on Friday, November 16, between Ist Trinity and
3d Trinity, the former having the choice and starting last.
Both rowed pretty evenly up to the First Post Corner, when
Ist Trinity began gradually to gain, owing to a good spurt
put on by Richards. From this point they continued to
come nearer to their opponents, till in Long Reach they
came up with them, and so rowed in winners by about 99
yards. Time, 8 min. 45 see. _

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

VICTORIA STATION.

The opening of the Victoria station at Pimlico,
with the new line of railway running from it,
appears to have been a most desirable event in con-
nection with the railway accommodation of the
metropolis. The annual number of passen-
gers at the London bridge station is no
less than 11,000,000 to 12,000,000, out of
which number 6,500,000 are conveyed by I
the London and Brighton line alone, and the
number of trains daily during the busy season, ex-
clusive of empties, is 365. Of course, to the inhabi-
tants of the west and north ends of London, who
furnish a large proportion of theke 12,000,000 pas-
sengers, the saving of time and diminution of dan-
ger and delay consequent on the erection of the
Victoria station must be a considerable boon, be-
sides affording an entire new line to the districts
around Balham-hill and Streatham. There are
10,400 square yards of departure platform and 4,450
of arrival, so that the space is most ample. The
approaches to the Victoria station are formed of
wide streets, that offer an abundant passage for the
traffic. The capital of the Victoria Company was
£676,000; the contract was let for £675,000, ex-
clusive of station buildings, one-half being the pro-
perty belonging to the London and Brighton Com-
pany, for the accommodation of whose line the
branch was originally designed, and who have been
its chief supporters. But it will also accommodate
the traffic of the London, Chatham, and Dover, the
Great Western, and London and North Western
Companies. The station itself is built more espe-
cially with a view to utility. It is 1,000 feet long,
its extreme width being 480 feet, containing about
11 acres, and when the improved facilities which it
offers to the west-end of London for Brighton and
other traffic are better known it will prove more
profitable to the shareholders and more advan-
tageous to the public
