OPENING OF TERM.

Michaelmas term opened on Tuesday with the usual forma-
lities at the private residence of the Lord Chancellor and
in Westminster Hall. At the former the Lord Mayor
Elect (Mr. Alderman Bosley) was presented to Lord
Hatherley by the Recorder of London, who said
that the recipient of the highest civic honours for the
ensuing year was a gentleman who had pursued all
honourable commercial career in the City of London, and
one who, on the death of Sir Peter Laurie, in 1861, had
been elected by the inhabitants of the Ward 01
Aldersgate to represent them in the court of
aldermen. His magisterial and other duties had
been always creditably performed, and he bed,
also worthily filled the ancient and honourable (Ace
of sheriff. Some other complimentary things having
been said by the Recorder, the Lord Chancellor announced
her Majesty's approval of the choice of Mr. William 8010,
as Lord Mayor for the ensuing year, and the "loving clipe
went round. The civic authorities then retired, and
judges and leading members of the bar were received bY
'
Lord Hatherley. From Great George-street, hard by the
Courts of Law, the Chancellor and his colleagues wended
their way to Westminster Hall where a large crowd 104
assembled. The entrance of the legal luminaries was They
so imposing as it would have been if the continuity of the
procession bad been preserved. In truth, her MajestY.e'
representatives got into Westminster Hall in a manner
sufficiently fragmentary to detract considerably frail
th
the dignity of the spectacle. The carriages of
the Lord Chancellor, the Master of the Rolls, Chief
Justice Bovill and Chief Baron Kelly kept well together,'
so that their occupants alighted rapidly enough after each
other to move up the hall.in comparatively close single file
through the lines of spectators. So long a time,
however, elapsed before the carriages of the other
learned judges arrived, that the public thought there
was nothing more to see, and the knots of gazers outside
hastened to mingle with those inside the building. Lord
Justice Giffard, therefore, when he appeared, had hardly
so clear a space through which to pass as could hale
been desired, and the remainder of the judges were 019,
got in at all by having a passage forced for them by
tb°ol°
police. In addition to those already mentioned,
following walked up the hall, viz.:—Vice-Chancellor
Malins, Mr. Justice Willes, Mr. Justice Keating,
Mr. Baron Bramwell, Mr. Justice Mellor, gr'
Baron Pigott, Mr. Justice Byles, Mr. Justice
Blackburn, Mr. Justice Lush, Mr. Justice Brett, and gr'
Baron Cleasby. As usual, the Lord Chief Justice
of England found no place in the prover
sion. It was also noticeable that Vice-Chancellor
James was absent, and as he does not sit to-day it is solY,
posed by some that he is about to be elevated to the vacant
Lord Justiceship, though others say the post is not
th to be
filled up. The various judges took their seats in eir'
several courts, and proceeded to hear motions.

THE TENANT - RIGHT MEETING PO'

The Dublin Express gives the following account of the'
prevention by Fenian sympathisers of the tenant-right
meeting which was to have been held at Limerick :-""

meeting as something antagonistic to their immens-
gatherings, resolved from the first to give it no COunt°'
nance, and it had been feared for some days that
collision would take place between the Fenian 000'
thisers and the Tenant Leaguers.' A meeting :.
however, held on Saturday by the committee of
