calculated to deter them? He was informed that
several of the lectures which had been delivered
were very popular, and had attracted some consider-
able notice. They should take encouragement, then,
and perhaps they would feel justified in following
precedents which had been set them in many other
cases—viz., to create a demand. He believed that
in education this was very often the case, and fre-
quently it was desirable. They must not wait until
the were asked for a certain class of students for a
certain work. They much teach and make progress,
and merit would declare itself ; it would create a
want, and there would soon be a demand for it.
When excellence was observed it was speedily ac-
,
kuowledged ; it then became attractive, and was
next desired. (Applause.) This was how they
must proceed ; but they must take heed, and they
must never despair. At present, however, happily
there was no ground for entertaining anything ap-
proaching the feeling to which he had referred.
(Hear, hear.) Now, they had before them motions
and resolutions enough on the agenda to occupy a
Parliament. (Laughter.) He hoped there would
not be so many divisions as there were likely to be
in the forthcoming Parliament. (Laughter.) There
were certain points upon which they would exercise
vote by ballot. The Legislature bad not got quite
so far, but he believed they would exercise the vote
in kindness, and as it was exercised in many pri-
vate societies. There were as many books to dis-
tribute as would occupy them some time ; and there
were so many prizes to distribute that he should
only be warranted in speaking of the time that
would be required in awarding them by experience.
(Laughter.) When he was in Birmingham a few
months ago he took the liberty of suggesting a few
topics, which had caused some discussion in the
public journals. He was still of the same opinion
as then, and he believed the result of the adoption
of his suggestions would have been the promotion
of greater interest, and at the same time to elicit
the display of a greater amount of talent. The
things which most interested men were politics and
religion, and under proper control he believed their
discussion would be free from all inconvenience, and
would highly benefit the classes. He could not but
think it was highly important that they all should
be brought round to a state in which they could
meet together calmly, and quietly discuss the things
upon which they differed. (Hear, hear.) Let
them learn to listen a little, let them learn to
reason a little, and then they would hear pa-
tiently what had to be said against their
own convictions. He had an illustration in
his mind's eye at that moment. There was a case
in point only a few days ago at Stafford, where, at
adecture by an eminent Professor, the representa-
tives of labour and capital were present. They all
knew that there were sometimes disputes between
the two, and that when employed and employer
were brought together the meeting was likely to
partake of a lively character. Well, the Professor
was very able and well qualified to deal with the
subject ; and it was rather amusing to observe the
members of one class, when he gave a little turn of
the scale, give a little murmur ; then, when he gave
a little turn the other way, there was another mur-
mur from the other class. He thought that discus-
sions of these questions and discussions of other
matters not relating to trade might be conducted
calmly and philosophically. If this could be done
it would be a great advantage to all parties, and
would improve them in many ways, of which they
could not gain a view from their present position.
He believed they had all a great deal to learn in
this respect, and they should all try to discuss mat-
ters on which they differed without animosity, with-
out angry feeling, and without reference to party.
He next referred to the accommodation for the
students of the Institute, and expressed the hope
that as the members increased they would have ac-
commodation for all who presented themselves for
participation in the advantages it offered. (Cheers.)
A vote of thanks was awarded to Lord Harrowby
for his services during his presidency, and Mr. Com-
missioner Hill, Q.C., was elected president for the
ensuing year.

" Dear Sirs,—In reply to yours of this date, I
shall be most happy to confirm, as a witness or
otherwise, what I have stated to sou so emphatically,
that no one is in a position to ask for such a loan
as Mr. Curtis mentioned to you. As to the pro-
posed loan of £200,000, either directly or in-
directly, it is a swindle. This company has not
borrowed any money during the year 1866, and it
is not likely to want any for a year to come.—l am,

"Dear Sir,—Your favour of the 15th ult. reached
us in due course, and according to our promise we
now beg to inform you that the £600,000 Atlantic
and Great Western Consolidated Mortgage Bonds
referred to in our respects of the 15th ult. have not
been produced ; that Messrs. Trevite and Greig,
77, Cornhill, were the parties with whom we had
been negotiating, that the statement in writing put
forward by them was Wanted to raise
£200,000 on £600,000 Atlantic and Great Western
Consolidated Mortgage Bonds. There is nomistake
about the bonds being forthcoming, &c.' That
since we put the matter in our solicitor's hands they
have written to the latter, that Mr. William Abbott,
sharebroker, 10, Tokenhouse-yard, had been their
principal, and had handed them the statement re-
ferred to ; that Mr. Abbott had got the business
from Mr. James Madden, 3, Leadenhall-street, who
had written it. Our solicitors have since issued
writs against T. and G. for Ij. per cent. commission
on the whole amount in two actions, one as for
commission, the other as for damages. The writs
have been served, and the defendants' solicitor has
entered into an engagement to defend the actions.
Messrs. Glenn and Co have also been served with
writ for commission, per cent. on £50,000, and
their solicitor has entered his appearance. We
have further opened proceedings against Messrs.
Morgan and Carter, accountants, 21, New
Bridge-street, Blackfriars, E.C., for com-
mission, £3BO, for a loan of £50,000
on £150,000 Atlantic and Great Western Consoli-
dated Bonds, for which no bonds were produced.
All these actions are pending in the Queen's Bench,
and will, unless settled to our satisfaction, proceed
to trial. These measures of ours have had the
effect that since the 17th ult., the day we placed the
matters in the bands of our solicitors, we have not
again heard of any loan being wanted, and we are
informed that since that time this loan fever has
altogether ceased.--Wishing you the compliments of
the season, we remain, dear Sir, yours truly,

At the banquet given to the Congressional excur-

that Congress would take no steps backwards.
The President on the 19th December, through
the War Department, directed General Sickles to
issue an order, suspending in his department until
further instructions articles five and six of his
General Order, declaring that corporeal punishment
should not be inflicted upon any person other than
a minor, and also interfering with the State law on
the subject of vagrancy. In compliance with the
request made in the same letter, a copy of the order
directed to be issued has been received from
General Sickles' head-quarters.

The Commissioner of Crown Lands has received
from the inspector of the Medoc gold region rich
specimens of gold in quartz and sand. The inspec-
tor reports mining operations carried on in five
concessions in Medoc, and 14th concession of Hun-
tingdon. From one lot between $l,OOO and $1,500
have been taken out. Gold was first struck at a
depth of 20 feet. From specimens of quartz seen
the inspector is of the opinion that gold exists
through the townships of Rawdon, Medoc, and
Eliziver, and portions of Marmora and Tudor.
Three thousand persons visited the mining regions

The Philadelphia Inquirer remarks that " the
proclamation of the President, showing that by
recent regulations made in France, vessels of tho
United States are to be admitted to enter the ports
of that
country upon the same terms as French
vessels, as far as regards tonnage duties, is an
agreeable commercial fact. The favour being
granted, it is ours to reciprocate, and so we have
the official announcement, that, in consequence,
French vessels, hereafter in our ports, or so long as
the said French regulations are in force, shall pay
no greater tonnage duties than our own vessels.
Reciprocity in these matters leads to better feeling
in others, and amity is strengthened and enforced
by the mutual obligations and duties which arise
between nations."
