THE WHITIVO.RTH SWOLAESHI.B%

The Committee of Council on .3" Education, in acknow-
ledging Mr. Whitworth's munificent offer to found thirty
scholarships of the annual valve of £lOO each, with a view
of promoting mechanical industry and engineering in this
country, expressed their 'willingness to receive any sugges-
tions from the generous founder as to how his intentions
could best be carried out. In reply, as shewn by a parlia-
mentary paper issued on Thursday, Mr. Whitworth submits
whether honours in the nature of degrees might not be con-
ferred by some competent authority on successful students
each year. Thus would be created a faculty of Industry;
analogous to the existing faculties of Divinity, Law, and
Medicine. Such honouis would be a great incentive to exer-
tion, and be hoped that Government would provide the
necessary funds for endowing a sufficient number of pro-
fessors of mechanics throughout the kingdom.
With this letter Mr. Whitworth transmitted a memo-
randum of rcg-nlations for governing the distribution of
the scholarships. They are to be open to all her Majesty's
snlijects who do not exceed the age of 26 years. The can-

dit'ate must be of sound bodily constitution. The first
competition to be in five theoretical subjects, viz., mathe-

matics, mechanics, practical plan e and descriptive geometry,
with mechanical and free-hand drawing, physics, and che-
mistry (including metallurgy). It would also include four
lian(l'crafts : smiths' work, turning, filing and fitting,
pattern-making, and moulding, with the power to use one
or more of the following tools : the axe, saw, plane, ham-
mer, chisel, file, and forge.
As the scholarships' scheme can only come into hut
operation by degrees, Mr. Whitworth proposes at once to
create sixty exhibitions or premiums; of the value of
£25 each, tenable until April 1869, and to place them
at the absolute disposal of the governing bodies of the
following educational institutions and towns, in
order that they may be awarded to youths under 22
years of age, who must undertake to compete for scholar-
ships of £lOO in May 1869 :—Eight to Owen's College, Man-
chester ; two to the grammar-school in that town ; three
each to the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and Lon.*
don ; and one to each of the universities of Durham,Dublin,
Edinburgh, Glasgow, St. Andrew's, Aberdeen ; the Queen's
Colleges in Belfast, Cork, and Galway; King's and Univer-
sity Colleges, London; Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Charterhouse,
Westminster, 'Winchester, St. Paul's, Merchant Taylors',
Christ's Hospital, City of London, Shrewsbury, Marl-
borough, Cheltenham, Chester, Clifton, Brighton, and
Liverpool ; two to the College of Preceptors, and three
to the Science and Art Department. The following to
artisans only:—Three to the Society of Arts, and one each
to Birmingham,' Bristol, Swansea and Cardiff, Halifax
and Huddersfield, Leeds, Northampton, and Sheffield.

While the Government and the Opposition are pro-
fessedly anxious to hasten the dissolution of Parliament,
Mr. Sidney Smith, of the City of London Liberal Regis-
tration Society, asks what urgent necessity exists for
hurrying on that important event. He argues that if the
new constituencies are to be properly tested, the register
must be rightly formed. Every official has a new and ex-
cessively ill-drawn Act to understand and to work ; every
revising barrister has to dispose of a fresh statute, bristling
with points of doubt which will all have to be argued out,
and to reconcile, if he can, anomalies betwixt the
new and the old Acts which will puzzle all concerned.
The statutes connected with registration assume the indis-
pensable action of other functionaries besides overseers
and revising barristers, and much depends upon the volun-
tary action of the electors themselves in purifying the
lists and in enforcing the provisions of the law. Can-
vassers have to test every name upon the lists, claims have
to be made and objections framed, and lodgers have to be
reckoned by the thousand. The vast increase of the fran-
chise and the novelty of its conditions will cause a multi-
tude of errors, and the correction of them will demand a
much longer instead of an abridged allowance of time.
Mr. Smith maintains that if the general election is to be
anything but a scramble, in which nobody will be allowed
time to discover the colours under which he would march,
it should not be before January, at the earliest.

This gentleman's opinion notwithstanding, the law
officers of the Crown declare that it is possible for the
registration to be expedited. Still, the nearer we
approach the 20th of June the more important it be-
comes for the Government -to shew how they propose to
hasten the making-up of the registers. On that day
the overseers publish a notice, requiring persons to pay all
rates due by the 20th of July. On the Ist of August they
publish a list of all ratepayers who have done so. On the
let of September they publish a list of all claims from
ratepayers and lodgers who may have sent in claims ; and
in the month of October all the lists are revised by the
barrister, and the names placed on the register or expunged,
as the case may be. It will be the 4th of June when the
House of Commons reassembles after the Whitsuntide
recess, and this will leave just a fortnight before the issue

of the first notice to consider what shall be done to accele-
rate Vac speed at which the registration usually takes
place.

The bill now passing through Parliament for the amal-
gamation of the three railways south of the Thames—the
London, Chatham, and Dover, the South Eastern, and the
London and Brighton—is severely dealt with in article in
the Daily Kum The writer points out that the
railway companies have issued yearly and even quarterly
tickets, to encourage suburban residence ; railway
has competed with railway in offering inducements
for building houses outside of London ; building
societies have sprung up to supply the means for doing so,
and men have become owners of property on the strength
of those inducements, without which they would never
have ventured on any such step. All at once the
suburban Londoner is startled by the introduction of the
amalgamation bill ; and our contemporary maintains that
the rich man of fifty miles from the metropolis and the
poorer one at five have a common interest in this vital
question. ' Mr. 'Watkin's idea, that the railways exist
mainly for private interests, is held up to ridicule, for a
system which runs passenger trains to the extent of more
than three-and-a-half millions of trains annually, and con-
veys 274,293,668 passengers in the year, exclusive of season
ticket holders, and which has become a great mono-
poly, cannot be narrowed to the purely private
ground on -Which Mr. Watkin virtually, though not
altogether avowedly, places it. The argument used in
favour of amalgamation, that the money for the company's
improvements has been raised chiefly in Lancashire,
and to a small extent south of the Thames, is described as
" really ridiculous." It is broadly hinted that the present
proposal is party Owing to the extravagance which the
directors of rival lines have pursued in the parliamen-
tary committee-rooms, where no less than 33
guineas per minute have been spent during a
twenty-eight days' battle. " For a considerable
time," says the Daily News," trade ahnost throughout the
country has been in a depressed state, and, strange to say,
the complaints have been most grievous from those very
parts through which the lines of these companies run."
Yet the companies choose at this inopportune moment to
raise the fares ty forming a trades union among them-
selves, whereby trade will go worse, untenanted houses
will continue to be unoccupied, and labour and capital will
become idle.

WILLS.—The will of the Hon. Brownlow North
Osborn De Grey, late of Rochelles, in the parish of Nat-
ton, Norfolk, who died on the 7th of April last, at
Territet, Montreux, Switzerland, was proved at the
Principal Registry on the 22nd inst., by the Right Hon.
Thomas, Lord Walsingham, and the Hon. George De
Grey, the brothers of deceased, the executors. The
personal property was sworn under £2s,ooo.—The will of
Major-General Sir Henry Floyd, Bart., deceased, Into of
No. 36, Gloucester-place, Hyde Park, who died on the 4th
of March last, was proved on the 25th inst. by Dame
Mary Floyd, widow, the relict, the sole executrix. The
personal property was sworn under £2,000.

Mit. GLADSTONE AND THE EAST WORCESTERSHIRE
ELECTION.—An elector of Dudley, observing a placard
issued by the Conservative party in the town relative to
the present election, stating that Sir C. O'Loghlen was
an ardent supporter of Mr. Gladstone, and, further, that
Mr. itearden was also a supporter of that gentleman, wrote
to the leader of the Opposition on the subject. lie sated
in his letter that the hon. baronet's motion relative to the
oaths, and Mr. Rearden's proposition, were being used
against Mr. Lyttelton and Mr. Gladstone. The latter has
forwarded the following letter in reply :—" 11, Carlton
house terrace, S.W., May 26.—Sir, I have received

your communication of yesterday . . . . With
respect to the placard-1. Sir C. O'Loghlen made
his proposal without my knowledge or approval.
2. He does not propose to alter the Coronation
Oath at all, but a declaration quite independent of it,
which the law now requires no one to take except the
sovereign. 3. The security for the religion of the Queen
by law is the provision that she shall be a communicant of
the Church of England, and shall not marry a member of
the Church of Rome. 4. Mr. Rearden is no supporter of
mine or of the Liberal party. As far as I know lie has voted
against us upon the most interesting and important ques-
tions except that of the Irish Church. 5. All Mr. Lyttel-
ton's friends should make it known that Mr. Laslett is to
support this Government. Now, this Government pro-
claimed ten weeks ago that they were friendly to religious
equality in Ireland, provided it was brought about. by
endowing the other churches, including the Roman, in
Ireland, and not by disendowing the Protestant Church ;
and by way of earnest they proposed at once to create a
Roman Catholic University, and pay its expenses out of
the taxes of the country ; whereas we say, take away th 4
Establishment that now exists, and make no more in

MISCELLANEOUS NEEVS.

(From the Anglo-American Times)

A telegram from Washington, dated May 27,
announces Mr. Stanton's resignation, and the in-
stallation of Lorenzo Thomas as Acting Secretary
of War ad interim. 'We can merely guess at bow
it happened, the cable only sending the result. It
may be that Mr. Johnson no sooner felt himself a

little firmer in the seat from which he had been so
nearly shaken than he ag lin collared his old adver-
sary, and, in Lorenzo's own words, kicked that
fellow Stanton out." Or it may be that Stanton
(the true victim of Impeachment), after his long
and tenacious hold, which, as he says, "He only
consented to retain on the most positive pledges of
the impeachment and removal of the President"—
lost heart, and, in expectation of another visit
from Lorenzo Thomas, sent in his resignation,
which, in truth, he earnestly desired to do. By the
last accounts he was represented as feeling much
chagrined at the probable failure of the trial. How
is it that no one ever thought of his rights ? Had
he not rights as well as Andrew Johnson? Is a
Cabinet Minister to be nothing and a President
everything? The War-office is that to which
rumour has assigned " Andy Johnson" in case of
the formation and success of the new party. We
would like to see how be will act when, as Secre-

tary of War, he fights Chase as PreSident.
According to Messrs. Neill's report, dated May
23, the weEk's receipts of cotton were 9,000 bales ;
since Ist September, 2,097,000 bales. Week's ex-
port to Great Britain, 19,000 bales ; since Ist
September, 1,189,000 bales. Week's exports to the
Continent, 7,000 bales ; since Ist Sept., 435,000
bales. Total exports for the week, 26,000 bales;
since Ist September, 1,624,000 bales. Stock at all
ports, 160,000 bales.
The flow .of money from New York to Europe
still continues, and even on an increased scale. On
the 21st of May the outgoing steamers took poomo
in specie; on the 23d, $1,000,000 ; on the 26th,
$425,000. By a telegram, dated New York, May
27th, it was announced that the Inman steamer City
of Paris, which left on the 23d inst. for Liverpool,
t00k51,250,000 in specie, but we cannot say whether
this was included in the large sum already an-
nounced as having been shipped on that day. On
the 27th $lOO,OOO, and on the 28th $250,000 in
specie were despatched.
The Republican State Convention of Illinois as-
sembled at Springfield on the 13th May, and passed
the following resolution :
" Resolved, That we denounce all forms of repudiation
as a national crime, and that national honour requires the
payment of the public indebtedness in the utmost good
faith to all creditors at home and abroad, according to the
letter and spirit of the laws under which it was contracted."
The great Prairie State, the Queen of the \Vest—
a land in truth flowing with milk and honey—re-
pudiates in the strongest and tersest language the
repudiators, and gives the lie to those who assert
that greenback redemption is the cherished offspring
of the West. This is the first State in which the
Republican party has taken bold and decided
ground against repudiation, and it was but the
forerunner of the great National Convention which
met in its leading city, Chicago, and laid down the
resolution as a plank in the Republican platform.
A London paper has strangely confounded the Re-
publican Convention held at Chicago with that
city, speaking of the influence given to the assem-
bly by the prosperity and high commercial charac-
ter of the town. It might as well confound Par-
liament with the City Council, or talk of the influ-
ence of Frankfort on a gathering of Ministers
Plenipotentiary from the Courts of Europe to settle
some great continental question. The Republican

State Convention of Illinois was held at the State

capita, Springfield, Illinois, and the Republican
Convention of the United States, to nominate can-

didates for thePresideucy and Vice-Presidency, and
to lay down their platform, assembled at Chicago,
Illinois, on the 20th May.
George Francis Train writes from " The British
Bastille" to his dear Revolution, which accuses him
of sending all his letters to the World. George's
imagination seems to be peculiarly active in the Bri-
tish Bastille. " Hark don't you hear the bugle

sound ? List ! it is the whistle of the Chassepot,
the needle-gun of France. Keep still, America ;
but vote greenbacks. Keep quiet, my country, but
stir up the people. The Revolution has just be-
gun." Russia and Prussia are about to march
against Austria, France, and England, and of course
the British Lion is to come to grief in the tussle.
George Francis always sees the British Lion in its

agony. Indeed if the poor brute suffers all that Train
pictures it might well term its life a prolonged
death struggle. "In this changing of property
England will lose Ireland, and America will spring
ahead to her divine destiny. As America goes up
England will go down. The Greek fire at Buck-
ingham Palace will be seen burning under all the
royal banquet halls. Read the judgment of the
prophet Daniel on Babylon." Why is America to
go up as England goes down? There is no clash-
ing interest whatever. He would not be a wise
green-grocer who cut the throat of the eater of cab-
bages, or sang a song of triumph over the bank-
ruptcy of the customer who appreciated his com-
modities as. Train does :—" Her plate is all mort-
gaged. The bailiffs are in the house. Judgment
on judgment has been accorded. All England is
in a Four Courts Marshalsea.' " And George
Francis Train is out.

Although the Chicago Convention approved the
Impeachment of President Johnson, the effort has
evidently failed to procure from it the adoption of a
resolution demanding his conviction. Although the
impropriety of such a course is plainly apparent
here, so strong did party feeling run, so unscrupu-
lous were the office-seekers engaged in the desperate
effort to bring Wade in at any price, they were little
deterred by that, and the pressure upon the Con-
vention must have been great. Had it given
way, it would have been a declaration of war
against many of the most influential men
among the leaders of the Republican party.
The nomination of Nlr. Colfax is a clear indication
that the Wade party was used up by the time the
Convention met. They had kept up so full a-head
of steam, and maintained for so long a period the
highest pressure, that it was no wonder that they
were exhausted when the crisis came. Perhaps the
Convention was influenced by an earliest desire to
reunite the party. It could scarc€ly have withheld
its approval of Impeachment ; and, in going no
further, and, in nominating Colfax, the feeling is
indicated against the extreme Radical section,
though the Speaker is, in truth, a strong Radical
himself.

The New York Citizen favours General Hancock
for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency.
It says that the Copperheads howl and shriek, but
that the General's strength is so apparent that the
blind may almost see it. From every section of the
Southern States the nomination is hailed with satis-
faction, and the only hesitation is that, whether a
portion of the country that cannot help the elec-
tion of the candidate should take part in his nowi•
nation, the States that can do least for Pendleton
being most clamorous in his behalf. Virginia,
Texas, and one or two more of the Southern States,
may, it thinks, be carried by the Democrates, and
