THE SOCIETY OF ARTS.

Lord Henry Lennox delivered this year the inaugural
address of the Society of Arts. In consequence of the
elections having taken up a large portion of his time the
speech was not so elaborate as those which are usually
given. His lordship noticed the loss the society, and all
society, had sustained in the death of Dean Aliimam, and
the name of Harry Chester was also recalled with warm
eulogium. A graceful testimonial to the merits of the late
Rossini followed. The Art Copyright Bill was to be passed
next session of Parliament, and everypains was to be taken
to make the Arts Workmen's Exhibition, which was to
take place in that hall, a success. His lordship stated at
some length his views on the subject of technical education,
advocating the inculcation of first principles, and depre-
cating the excessive subdivision of labour which now was
the fashion in our great factories. On the subject of
iron shipbuilding he announced that the problem of pre-
serving the hulls of iron ships from " coating" was
likely to be solved by a chemical preparation, the inven-
tion of Dr. Sims. The food question had largely engaged
the attention of the society, and the conclusion which had
been come to was, that ice would afford the best means of
bringing us meat from Australia. In consequence of this,
the production of ice would become a question of the
first importance, and therefore he had heard with much
pleasure that they were soon to hear a paper
read on the cheap production of artificial ice. Turning
to the improvements of the metropolis, his lordship
congratulated the meeting on the proximate completion of
the Thames Embankment. Having recommended the
members of the society to devote their attention to the
further development of the powers of electricity, to the
improvement of our water supply, and to the questions
which had recently been raised in connection with our
postal arrangements, his lordship concluded with a passing
allusion to the Mont Cenis tunnel, the steam trains on the
Lake of Lucerne, the American project for piercing the
Isthmus of Darien, and other modern improvements either
now in progress or projected.

HOMES FOR EMIGRANTS.

While on this subject we may draw attention to
another field in Minnesota, where au association have
secured two million acres of laud along the lino from St.
at the head of the Steamboat navigable on the Mis-
sissippi to Duluth, a good harbour of Lake Superior. The
Mississippi and Lake Superior Railroad Company extend-
ing 150 miles, of, which 30 aro built, will connect the
northern navigation of the great lakes, the St. Lawrence,
and the canals, with the southern navigation of th Mis-
sisippi, the finest internal water communications in the
world. Mr. H. Davis has forwarded a circular, in reply to
numerous inquiries for information about these lands, and
the gentlemen who he asserts to be interested are, as he
says, men of large means, and of high standing for honour
and integrity—J. Edgar Thompson, Jay Cook, William
G. Moorhead, Samuel M. Felton, Isaac Hinkley, Jacob R.
Stewart, Robert 11. Lamborn (of Philadelphia), William
L. Banning, James Smith, jun., Esq. Tho same can be
said of Gilead A. Smith, Esq., to whom he refers in Lon-
don for the truth of the statements, as well as the Hon. F.
M. Morse, the United States Consul, and although we can-
not personally vouch for the lands we can for these names.

The following is the letter Mr. Davis has addressed to
us:--

TO THE EDITOR OF THE ANGLO-AMERICAN TIMES.

SIR,—As I am aware you are always ready to assist
either individuals or the public generally, and also to aid
in carrying out any project which may tend to that end,
I think, upon perusal of the enclosed circular, you will
be kind enough to grant us a small space. The reference
given therein will prove the .genuine character of our
scheme, which, I may add, will be available for a class
whose wants have hitherto been entirely overlooked.
Your valuable journal has such an extensive circulation
that I feel certain, should you grant us you r support,
numbers would gladly avail themselves of the .advantages
we offer, and, doubtless, they would eventually be greatly
benefited thereby.-1 am, Sir, yours most obediently,

DODDINGTON.

We pointed out the other day the amazing con-
tempt for fact exhibited by a contemporary in dealing
with the " richest living in England." Its columns
now contain two letters upon the same subject. The
united living of Boddington- cum - March- cum-
Benwick is now divided into seven separate rectories
and ten separate incumbencies, the richest of which
is 22,000 a year. Three new churches and a chapel-.
of-ease will shortly be built at March. Doddington,

GERMANY.

The negotiations relative to a postal treaty betsveen
England and Prussia have been concluded. The cs.rriags
of prepaid letters either way is fixed at threepence. A.
final and definite arrangement between the two countries
will shortly be entered into.

At Munich it is said that Bavaria will not recognise
Austria's claims, under the Treaty of Prague, upon the
immoveable property of the South German fortresses.
The commission and the Prussian Chamber of Deputies
dealt very shortly with the two representatives from
North Schleswig who refused for the second time to take
the Constitutional oath. It decided that the oath was to
be again offered to the refractory deputies, and if they
again refused, the loss of their seats was to follow. They
'have refused.

SIR JAMES FERGUSSON.

Sir James Fergusson is to have a presentation of plate,
worth £1,550, made to him ere he leaves for Australia. A
meeting was held at Ayr a clay or two back, when
it was stated that it was impossible to get the
plate ready in time to present it formally to Sir
James, but it would be insured and delivered to his
Excellency in Adelaide, South Australia. The testimonial
consisted of a very handsome centre-piece in the Italian
style of art, two sunlight candelabras, and eight minor
pieces, which would all be completed in the very first
style. The chairman, in addressing Sir James, remarked
that the articles of which the presentation consisted would
stand on the Governor's table in South Australia, testify-
ing to the people there that his Excellency had gone
from among friends in this country who esteemed him
very highly for his business qualities, his great abilities,
his attention to duty, and his personal amiability and kind-
ness. Sir James Fergusson, in acknowledging the kindness
of his friends, said he knew that it had been given in full
recognition of the fact that he had consistently be-
longed to the Conservative party, and that up to the
moment of leaving this country lie felt it to'be his duty
to join in supporting that party and those principles to
which he was by conviction attached. It had afforded
him great pleasure to see on the subscription list the
names of poor men, cotters and labourers—men who
would not have appeared there had he not been so
happy as to secure their regard, which he valued as
much as that of the duke who headed the list.
He was not, as they all knew, a man of first-
rate abilities, education, or acquirements, and he had
had his full share of honour for any success which he
had attained. Indeed, his feeling now was one of doubt
whether he had not been overpaid. He had been honoured
during the last fortnight by being raised to a rank which
he valued higher than the peerage, and he had accepted a
post of honour and emolument abroad in which, whatever
were its duties (and he might easier undervalue than over-
value its responsibilities), at all events there would be
much ease and comfort. In fact, it was such an appoint-
ment as might be a fit reward of much longer service than
v 4.

THE FEMALE SCHOOL OF _ART.

The Female School of Art appears to be prospering.
Th., presentation of prizes to successful students was
made a day or two back at London University College,
when it was stated there were 103 students on the books.
At the close of the summer session there were 135, being
an increase of five upon last year. At the annual
Local Second Grade Examination in March, 1868, 48
students presented themselves for examination ; 44 passed
in one or more subjects, 25 obtained prizes, their papers
been marked excellent," and nine obtained their certifi.
cates. These were all elementary. Eighty students sent
up works for inspection to the annual examination of the
drawings at South Kensington ; fourteen obtained third
grade prizes of books, the works of eight students.
Of these students two obtained National Queen's prizes,
and one a National bronze medal. By recent arrange.
ments made by the Science and Art Department, increased
facilities would be afforded for borrowing good examples
for the purpose of study for the students. It was also
reported that the school was out of debt. After the
ceremony of presentation, the chairman, Mr. Layard,
M.P., proceeded to address the meeting. He first congra-
tulated the ladies on the success of this institution, which,
he said, had passed the severest test which could be
passed—the payment by results. Having described himself
as not yet converted to the principles of Miss Becker in
all that lady demanded for her sex, he went on to say that
he thought the general position of women would be im-
proved by openings being made for them to earn their own
livelihood, and he hailed the openings which this art educe.
tion might give to the sex. He then proceeded to give
advice as to perseverance and care in the execution of
designs and works of art.

SCENE IN A CHURCH.

---
During the morning service on Sunday, at St. Martin's,
Ludgate, shortly after the minister, Dr. White (lately
appointed to the living, and who that morning read him-
self in), had entered the desk to read the Articles, a young
man, who had taken his seat in one of the pews, got up
to make his way out. He turned towards the reading-
desk, but as the vestry door is beyond, and was opposite
him, it may be that he mistook it for the entrance. The
beadle prevented his going that way, and the man,
after calling out loudly some words about the Son of God,
heaven and hell, and declaring that no man should take
him, made an attempt to cut his own throat with a large
Spanish knife. Whilst being taken out of the church he
inflicted on himself another wound about two inches from
the heart, driving the knife in right up to the handle. The
wound is of such a serious nature that no hopes are enter-
tained of his recovery. No money was upon him, but a
paper shewed that he held a situation as cook in a vessel.
He states that he comes from Germany, and that his only
relative is a mother, in South Carolina, his father having
been killed in the wars. He refused to assign his motive
for such a desperate act.

UTE CIVILITIES OF OFFICERS.

~g, --

It is a favourite fallacy with a small proportion of the
population that the presence of a regiment of soldiers
in a town has a "civilising" influence. At least the
officers are supposed to be gentlemen and to know how to
conduct themselves towards others. But a tale which
comes from Canada tends altogether to destroy that sup-
position. We there find a " coxy " captain behaving like
an untutored rough ; and the other officers of the regiment
taking his side very vehemently. It is but right, how-
ever, to preface the tale by observing that we have only
one side of it, the side of the aggrieved. It
appears that at a ball given in Quebec, a gentle.
man named Le Mesurier observed that an officer
of the .53rd, Captain Elmhirst, continually jostled
him during the evening. He was willing to believe this
accidental until he heard the captain say "Now for a
charge," and immediately afterwards found himself
thrown, along with the lady with whom he was dancing,
against the grate. He afterwards learnt that the captain
"had boasted of his splendid victory, and said that he in-
tended to teach the young Canadian manners." He called
on Captain Elmhirst for an explanation. The captain
admitted that be had boasted of the incident
in the ball-room as an intentional insult. After
one or two efforts to induce the captain to apologise, M.
Le Mesurier broke his cane over that officer's shoulders.
He was at once called to account by half the mess for
having insulted the regiment by caning one of its officers,
and ordered to publish apologies, with the alternative of
" a trip across the border." Mr. Le Mesurier refuses either
to apologise or to fight, not having been taught manners
up to either point. Meanwhile the officer is left to bring
out the talents of other Canadians in that direction.

LAW AND POLICE.

REsIDENcE.--In the Bail Court, at Westminster, Mr.
Charles appeared to shew cause, in the case of the
Queen v. the Mayor of Exeter, against a rule which had
been obtained for a mandamus commanding the mayor to
admit Mr. Wescomb as a burgess. Mr. Wescomb was the
proprietor of the Exeter Gazette, and he was also proprietor
of the Globe, London evening newspaper. His affidavit
stated that he had formerly occupied a house called
the Vineyards, in Exeter, but which he gave up at
Michaelmas 1867. He had, however, a house in Gandy.
street, which he occupied for business, and part of which
was fitted up as a bedroom. He had visited Exeter twenty
times for business purposes during-the last year, remaining
there each time from four to ten days. The question was
whether this was a sufficient occupation to constitute Mr.
Wescomb a burgess of the city of Exeter. The court
made the rule absolute.

FRAUDULENT BANKRUPT.--At the Central Criminal
Court, a young man named William James Frederick
Ball has been convicted of conspiracy with a Henry
Spackman to cheat his creditors. He was sentenced to
four months' hard labour. The jury in their verdict
recommended him to mercy, believing him to be the tcol
of a designing man. The Recorder said that if Spack-
man had surrendered to his recognisances and been con.
victed, he would possibly have had a sentence of penal
servitude.

£1,500 has alreadybeen received for the Roebuck
Testimonial in Sheffield.

Between 700 and 800 cases of fever have
already occurred during the present outbreak in North
Shields.

Mr. John Timbs has at last been honoured with
a public recognition of the value and important character
of his works. Her Majesty has been pleased to appoint
him as one of the sharers in the benefits of the Huggens
College Fund.-- City Press.
LUTHER'S WEDDING RING.—The marriage ring
of Martin Luther is at present being zepaired by at
jeweller at Waldenburg, Saxony. It is of silver, gilt, and
bears the following inscription on the inner surface:—
"D. Martine Luthero Catherina v. Bora, 13 Junii,
1525."

A CUTE MisEm.—A gentleman called on-a rich
miser and found him at the table endeavouring to catch a
fly. Presently he succeeded in entrapping one, which he
immediately put in the sugar•bowl, and shut down the
cover. The gentleman asked for an explanation of this
singular sport. " I'll tell you," replied the miser, a
triumphant grin overspreading his countenance as he
spoke, " I want to ascertain if the servants steal
sugar,"

LOXDON, TUESDAY, NOV. 24, 18C8.

Already the results of the General Election may
be thus summarised-559 members returned up to
the clos .1 of yesterday's polling : of these 315 Libe-
rals as opposed to 214 Conservatives, showing a clear
majority (so far) of 131 on the side of the Opposi-
tion. The gains to Mr. GLA➢STONE+ are in excess of
those secured to Mr. DISRAELI on the New Slats by
14, on the Old Seats by 16—the Conservatives having
won 39 from the Liberals on the latter, against a loss
of 55 to their antagonists—Minister; again, hav-
ing won 13 of the New Seats against 27 secured to
the Opposition. Striking the balance between the
rival parties, so far as the numbers have yet been
obtained, those relative gains and losses on
the new and the old seats together, show an
advantage of exactly 40 in excess on the side of the
Liberals. It is impossible, however, even now to
conjecture with any degree of confidence the precise
magnitude of the majority which will have been secured
to the Leader of the Opposition when the Elections
shall have been completed. It can only be conjec-
tured proximately, and even then with very consi-
derable hesitation. But so forecasting—thatjs, with
hesitation, certainly without confidence as to the ac-
curacy of our purely conjectural calculations—we
should feel disposed to regard the Libe-
ral majority as likely to amount to a little
over a clear hundred. Supposing that estimate
to be well founded, it would imply the reduction
of the present majority by some thirty or there-
abouts, through the county returns which have yet to
drop in. I et, even when so reduced, the final result
would show an increase of the Liberal majority in
the next as compare] with the last Parliament by
some thirty votes altogether ! Au expansion of the
Liberal majority of over seventy is the old House of
Commons, to one exceeding a round hundred
in the new House of Commons ! Whether
the final issue will or will not be
precisely what we are here imagining there can be
no possibility of doubt that the majority at Mr.
GLADSTONE'S back will be very formidable to the
Government. It will be unquestionably (and very
appreciably) larger than it was before the dissolution.

THE FEMALE SCHOOL OF ART.

The Female School of Art appears to be prospering.
Th.: presentation of prizes to successful students was
made a day or two back at London University College,
when it was stated there were 103 students on the books.
At the close of the summer session there were 135, being
an increase of five upon last year. At the annual
Local Second Grade Examination in March, 1868, 48
students presented themselves for examination ; 44 passed
in one or more subjects, 25 obtained prizes, their papers
been marked " excellent," and nine obtained their certifi-
cates. These were all elementary. Eighty students sent
up works for inspection to the annual examination of the
drawings at South Kensington ; fourteen obtained third
grade prizes of books, the works of eight students.
Of these students two obtained National Queen's prizes,
and one a National bronze medal. By recent arrange-
ments made by the Science and Art Department, increased
facilities would be afforded for borrowing good examples
for the purpose of study for the students. It was also
reported that the school was out of debt. After the
ceremony of presentation, the chairman, Mr. Layard,
M.P., proceeded to address the meeting. He first congra-
tulated the ladies on the success of this institution, which,
he said, had passed the severest test which could be
passed—the payment by results. Having described himself
as not yet converted to the principles of Miss Becker in
all that lady demanded for her sex, he went on to say that
he thought the general position of women would be im-
proved by openings being made for them to earn their own
livelihood, and he hailed the opeffings which this art educe.
tion might give to the sex. He then proceeded to give
advice as to perseverance and care in the execution of
designs and works of art.

THE SOCIETY OF ARTS.

Lord Henry Lennox delivered this year the inaugural
address of the Society of Arts. In consequence of the
elections having taken up a large portion of his time the
speech was not so elaborate as those which are usually
given. Eis lordship noticed the loss the society, and all
society, had sustained in the death of Dean Milina,n, and
the name of Harry Chester was also recalled with warm
eulogium. A graceful testimonial to the merits of the late
Rossini followed. The Art Copyright Bill was to be passed
next session of Parliament, and every pains was to be taken
to make the Arts Workmen's Exhibition, which was to
tile place in that hall, a success. His lordship stated at
some length his views on the subject of technical education,
advocating the inculcation of first principles, and depre-
cating the excessive subdivision of labour which now was
the fashion in our great factories. On the subject of
iron shipbuilding he announced that the problem of pre-
serving the hulls of iron ships from " coating" was
likely to be solved by a chemical preparaticn, the inven-
tion of Dr. Sims. The food question had largely engaged
the attention of the society, and the conclusion which had
been come to was, that ice would afford the best means of
bringing us meat from Australia. In consequence of this,
the production of ice would become a question of the
first importance, and therefore he had heard with much
pleasure that they were soon to hear a paper
read on the cheap production of artificial ice. Turning
to the improvements of the metropolis, his lordship
congratulated the m.:Tting on the proximate completion of
the Thames Embankment. Having recommended the
members of the society to devote their attention to the
further development of the powers of electricity, to the
improvement or our water supply, and to the questions
which had recently been raised in connection with our
postal arrangements, his lordship concluded with a passing
allusion to the Mont Cenis tunnel, the steam trains on the
Lake of Lucerne, the American project for piercing the
Isthmus of Darien, and other modern improvements either
now in progress or projected.

DODDINGTON.

We pointed out the other day tne amazing con-
tempt for fact exhibited by a contemporary in dealing
with the " richest living in England." Its columns
now contain two letters upon the same subject. The
united living of Doddington - cum - March- cum-
Benwick is now divided into seven separate rectories
and ten separate incumbencies, the richest of which
is £2,000 a year. Three new churches and a chapel-
of-ease will shortly be built at March. Doddington,

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach..
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying downfor fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
