r The attention of the students is directed to the
following riles of the Inns of Court
" As an inducement to students to propose themselves
for examination, studentships shall be founded of 50 guineas
per annum each, to continue for a period of three years, and
one such studentship shall be conferred on the most distin-
guished 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 exami-
nations; and the Inns of Court to which such students be•,
long may, if desired, dispense with any terms, not exceed-
ing two, that may remain,to be kept by such students pre-
viously to their being called to the Bar ; provided that the
examiners shall not be obliged to confer -or grant any stu-
dentship or certificate unless they shall be of opinion 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 studentship or
a certificate of honour, shall take rank in seniority over all
other students who shall be called on the same My.
"No student 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 Readers, or have satisfactorily passed
a public examination.
" RULES FOR THE PUBLIC EXAMINATION. OF CANDI-
DATES FOR HONOURS, OR CERTIFICATES ENTITLING
STUDENTS TO BE 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 de-
sirous of becoming a candidate for a s' udentship or honours,
or of obtaining a certificate of fitness for being called to the
Bar, will be admissible.
" Each student proposing to submit himself for exami-
nation will be required to enter his name at the Treasurer's
office of the Inn of Court to which he belongs on or before
Tuesday, the 23d of October next ; and he will further be
required to state in writing whether his object in offering
himself for examination is to compete for a studentship or
other honourable distinction, or whether he is merely de-
sirous of obtaining a certificate preliminary to a call to the
Bar.
" The examination will commence on Tuesday, the 30th
day of October next, and will be continued en the Wednes-
day and Thursday following.
"It will take place in the Benchers' Reading-room of
Lincoln's-inn, and the doors will be closed 10 minutes after

those already marked out for the examination by printed
questions, excep:-, that on Thursday afternoon there will be
no oral examination.

apart from other students, and the character of that exami-
nation will vary according as the student is a candidate
for honours or for a studentship, or desirous to obtain 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.

overt:

" Any student who shall obtain a certificate may presen
himself a second time for examination as a candidate for
the studentship, but only at one of the three examinations
immediately succeeding that at which he shall have ob-
tained such certificate ; provided that if any student so pre-
senting himself shall not succeed in obtaining the student-
ship, his name shall not appear in the list.

The Pioneer paddle steamer, Master.-Com. May,
arrived at Spithead early yesterday morning from
Greenhithe, on her way to join the Zambesi expe•
dition under Dr. Livingstone.
The Emerald, 51, screw, Capt. A. Cumming,
steamed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday morn-
ing at high water from Spithead. She will be placed
in No. 7 dock to repair any damage she may have
received on the occasion of her recent mishap in
Alderney harbour.
The following vessels are in the steam basins and
docks of Portsmouth yard :—ln the steam basin,
the Prince of Wales, 131, screw three-decker—ma-
chinery on board and ready for steam trial ; Prin-
cess Royal; 91, screw, complete in steam department,
nearly so at the hands of the mast-rigger, and
ready for immediate commission ; the Frederick
William, 86, screw, in a forward state in her steam
department. This vessel and the Prince of Wales
are new, recently launched in this dockyard, and
will probably be the laat vese,et of their class that,
will be seen in the same basin under similar cir-
cumstances. The Immortalit44, sere w,is complete
in machinery and rigging ; has the greater part of
her stores on board, the whole of her armament and
shot, and makes her official trial of speed at the
measured mile in Stoke's Bays to-morrow. The
Sutlej, 51, screw, one of the finest of the converted
class, is also nearly complete in machinery, and will li
be ready for her official trial very shortly. The
Pelican, 17, screw, recently launched from Pem-
broke yard, is receiving her machinery, &c. The
Cygent, 6, screw; new, is coppered, and is complet-
ing in her engineering department. The Medea, 6,
and 'Stromboli, 6, paddles, have both undergone
extensive repairs to hulls and machinery, and are
ready for commission. The Vigilant, 6, screw, has
had a thorough overhaul to hull and machinery,
and is now reshipping the latter. The Minx,
screw, tank vessel, has just undocked from No. 8
dock, and is preparing to resume her duties at Port-
land. In the two docks connected with the basin

and the Gorgon, 6, paddle, Commander B. C. Pim.
Of the old docks in the yard—in No. 1 the old frigate
Briton is breaking up. In No. 2 the Harrier, 17,
screw, is receiving her coat of paint on the comple-
tion of her repairs at the hands of the shipwrights'
department. In No. 3, the Prince Regent, 90, is
undergoing conversion to a screw. In No. 4 the
Volcano, paddle, floating factory, is being coppered
and completing her repairs. In No. 5 the Coquette,
6, screw, is undergoing repairs, which appear to be-
come more extensive in their nature every day. In
No. 9 the Octavia, 51, is undergoing conversion to
a screw. Omitting the Gorgon, the Eagle, and the
Minx from the list as being vessels already in com-
mission, the remaining vessels enumerated represent
a force of 633 guns, propelled by a steam power of
5,350 horses.

steam floating batteries which are now undergoing
repair at Chatham dockyard, has been completed at

that establishment, and was hauled out of the 2d dock

Gravesend, on board the Akbar, on the 10th inst.
In securing land in the neighbourhood of Ply-
mouth for the requirements of the new fortifica-
tions, the Board of Ordnance appears to be adopting
a very prudent and economical course. Where land
is absolutely necessary for the site of a fort it is
purchased; but when a field is not required imme-
diately for building purposes, and it falls'within
the range of the proposed fortified lines, the Govern-
ment buys at once the right of building thereon and
thus prevents any unsuitable erection. The owner
continues -in undisturbed possession, and uses the
field as now for pasture or farming purposes.
Should the site, however, be required hereafter, the
Government of the day will have to pay for if only
the then current agricultural value of the land.
The following appointments have been made at
the Admiralty :—Lieut. I. N. Croke to the Aga-
memnon ; H. C. Sedmond, master, to the Asia, for
the Harrier; Arthur Thomas, master, to the Cum-
berland, for the Miranda; John Gray (e), surg., to
the Spiteful ; Arch. L. Archer, M.D., surg., to the
Ariel ; J. Johnstone, surg., to the Foxhound; D.
Porteous, M.D., assist.-surg,, to the Landrail ; C.
L. Cunningham, acting assist.-surg., to the Spiteful;
R. F. Ellis, master's assist., to the E igar ; Wm.
Brenner, acting third-class assist.-engineer, to the
Cumberland, for service in the Myrtle ; Wm. Scott,
acting third-class assist.-engineer, to the Indus, for

class-assist.-engineer, to the Algiers.

[ADVERTISEMENT.I—Honoway's Pills.—Spasms, flatu-
lency, constipation.—So many persons suffer from these
disorders that a description of them is unnecessary, but the
recommendation to take Holloway's pills for the cure of
disordered digestion will be repaid with gratitude by all
who give them a single trial. No medicine will so safely
and speedily restore a deranged stomach or torpid liver to
order. No other preparation will so effectually and healthily
conduct digestion—so that spasms, flatulency, and other
torments of dyspepsia cannot by any possibility arise, or if
present, will be soon cured. The power of these pills in re-
moving acidity of the stomach, sick headache, biliousness,
diarrhoea, dysentery, and debility is wonderful. They act
as tonics, -alteratives, and general regenerators of the
frames
