It was also intended that many of those who are not brought into contact with these gentlemen frequently, should have an opportunity of meet' iog them at • seine in the Bova Hotel. We regret to say that, for the present, these meetings must be pose posed, in consequence of Mr. Bright being confined to the I boom with a bed cold, which affects his throat, and renders 1 it impossible for him to speak in the Town-hall. It is just I possible that he may have recovered by Wednesday, but the committee felt that they were aot justified its asking Mr. Bright to come so DOOO, even if a favourable change set in at once. It is probable that the meeting will take place in the following week. —l3iresi neiliam Dulls' Pool. A

At Met the natural belief was that voluntary suicide had bees intended, but some letters which had been written by the student showed that he had been the victim of • shameful kind of duel. A foreign student had been grossly issulted by the Swabian. and satisfaction was deweeded ; but, instead of fl,ilitiog is the usual way, an agreement was come to to draw lots which of the two should destroy himself withis a delay of a fortnight. The lot fell on the Swabian. When the time was about to expire, the young man, whose father was dangerously ill, solicited an extrusion of the delay, but the request was refused, and the attempt at self-destructios was consequently made. Some hopes are entertaised that the wound will sot prove fatal, but all the entreaties of the heeds of the university and of his friends cannot extort from him • promise not to repeat the desperate act.
