benefit of a .r.--Where a charity having been
parish, it had been agreed by
the parishioners, with the sanction of the court, that part of
the income should be applied for the Purpose of education.
The court refused to sanction a scheme by which it had been

that
selections only from the Scritures
should be read, and the school be closed on a Sunday; the
court saying that it could provide for no other religious edu-

THE WEEPING WILLOW AT WALMER CASTLE.—Now
that VS almer Castle has been rendered more interesting by
the visit of the Queen, it is strange that the weeping willow
on the grass plot of the garden has not been alluded to. This
willow has grown from a slip which was presented to the Duke
of Wellington by a gentlein;.n who cut it from the willow
overhanging Napoleon's grave at St. Helena. The grey
conqueror of that wonderful man cherishes this tree with p

to regard it with the deep interest which its historical cha.

Tar EARTH'S ORBIT.-Professor Chevallier, of the Dur-
ham University, has given a decided contradiction to the
statement of the American Philosopher, to the effect that the
inclination of the plane of the equator to that of the ecliptic
was sensibly diminishing. The learned Professor sa
areys, " I
may mention that the very small changes which well
known to take place continually in the inclination of the
plane of the equator to that of the ecliptic are periodical, and
are confined within definite limits; and that in any pertion
of the long period required for the completion of the , whole
cycle of changes, no sensible effect upon the seasons cap
ever occur." The other statements contained in the ac-
count of the " eminent gentleman connected with Yale.
College" are also satisfactorily refuted by the Learned Pro-
fessor.
