P Aijmerston Is To Open The Session Witl...
' ficiency , " might be given iu the event of their passingtheir examination ' . with credit . A report has just been sent up : to the Senate , strongly advising the organization ., of the proposed systeiM , and accompanied by a series of propositions , the effect of which , if . carried- out , -will be to enable students " between fifteen and eighteen , of any academy in England , to go up for examination , the younger to obtain certificates , the elder the title of ' AMociate in Arts . ' This -will ' be a noble stimulant to learning , and , as far as we can see , utterly unobjectionable on sectarian -.. grounds . . The examinations will-afford- a guiding test for school managers ; and the success of pupils in tlie several schools will be a guiding test for parents ; so that the examinations will elevate and nationalize the voluntai-y teaching which already exists . Dr . Culhen has published a long pamphlet in rejoinder to the reply of T-jorcl St . Leonards , on the misapplication of the Patriotic Fund . Pic has taken Lord St . Leos abbs ' s general denial of his
charges as a challenge , and has set to work , m characteristic style , to prove them all—and more . But he has not been successful . The cases which he gives of sectarian misuse of the Patriotic Fund fail tomakeout a case against its general administration . Instances there have been , clearly , where Protestant favouritism has been shown , but thej have been few , and their importance is greatly exaggerated by Dr . Culled and his ! partisans for sec
tarian purposes . Dr . Cujluin has had his lling at the Indian Fund , and has done it no harm , but 3 it is to be hoped , some good ; for those who are administering it are warned against doing anything that may give a handle either to him or any other geivtleman of his way of thinking . An incident happened on Sunday last unprecedented in the history of religion in this country . The special services in Exeter Hall were discondiuo xujv xi
tinned under tne prom u or me . - » . Ebouaht . The pastor of the parish , it seems , has the right and the power to exclude from the bounds of his ciire all other preachers save his Bishop and his curate ; and Mr . Edouaut had a special reason for exercising this power . He depends for his income on the filling of his churcli , and the filling of the Hall was detrimental to the finances of St .
Michael ' s . An attempt to introduce the services at St . Martin ' s Hall has failed through a similar objection of the incumbent in that parish . Still , the committee carrying on t he special services were not content to give up their mission ; clergymen of the Churcli of Eng land being excluded , the committee looked about for some ministers not disqualified by Establishmentout
belonging to the ., suincienuy broaden " their Christianity to act with them . They found such a man in the llev . Mr . Brock , the wellknown Baptist minister ; and on Sunday last he conducted the special service in Exeter Hall , using the forms of the Church of England !

Such mnrringns , though forbidden in this country , arc there celebrated according to the law of the laud ; and a notion prevails that the Eng lish law recognizes the validity of a foreign marriage legally contracted . Arguments for and against this opinion have been brought forward at great length , and the question is of such importance that Vice-Chancellor Sir J . o ..,,,.,. i .. 1 Ci , f / .

A . deputation ,-presenting a memorial from the I British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society , waited on the llari of Clarendon on Tuesday , and received an answer intended to reconcile ' the Umpire , ' and the anti-slavery interest . The-E « iof ClaiiBN » 0 N assured the deputation that toe remedy for the evil had been already found in the total failure of the Ereneh schemo of pui « chasing ' free' negroes . He wholly exonerated the Emperor , who he believed never for a moment intended to do anything that would be likely to reopen the slave-trade—of course not . Only other nations have caught the hint , that slave-trade treaties forbid no migration of ' free Africans ; ' and even in England there is o . growing - wish to see the experiment fairly tried , ol civilizing the African in America . neui ciivers otuu
public meetings Have been on topics ; but >\ ve need only mention" one—that at ] Brighton , to receive a report to the constituency from its new member , Mr . Coningham . He . spoke out boldly , gmpplnig subjects difficult and delicate with manly directness and candour ; and he was well supported . Among the deaths that -will be felt beyond the confines of private circles or of party will be that of
¦ Lord Strangfokd , who , not long since , as ueorge SM \ 'TiXE , " member for Canterbury , shone for a mo-. input of brilliant promise , disappeared as suddenly from public life , and now lies shrouded in the sad eclipse of an untimely death . Liberal ideas in Plcdmoiit and . Belgium arc once ' more obliged to iight for existence undex the attacks ' of Papistry , fighting itsold fight for supremacy . In - Piedmont , the Liberal ' party , proud and satisfied with the progress of their Ideas , have fallen into the owoiv nf nrasintr to-watch and ward their vantage
nround , and tlic Catholic opposition ,: ever on the look-out for opportunity , lias taken ; that furnished by the state elections to put forth its-.-utmost-., strength , using every means at its command—spiritual and temporal . But the Liberals have been warned in time to secure the victory of a majority ,-though not such a , one as they ought to have commanded . The lesson , however , will be of service . ] In Belgium the struggle promises to end with more decided advantage to the unti-pretre psirty .

ACCIDENTS AND SUDDEN DEATHS . The Hon . Martin Ilavrke , third son of Lord Havyke , has met with his death while fox-hunting . ' The hounds were in full ckase , and the pace Tvas very severe . The fox : darted along a recently stubbed-up plantation , about six yards wide , and with a fence on both Hides . Mr . Hawk ceausinghis horse to leap over a line of rails , the animal fell , threw his rider off headforemost , and then turned over upon him . Hewas removed to Bramvrith Hall , and afterwards to a house at Barnby Dun . It -was found , ¦ : I mi n suro-ieal examination , that three ribs were broken
on each side , and that the lungs had thus been ruptured . The head and face were much bruised , and the left arm ¦ was broken above the wrist . These injuries .. resulted in death . Mr . Hawke ' s horse , on being raised up , followed the hounds for four or five miles without a rider , taking all the leaps - \ vith the foremost of the field ; The inquest has terminated in a verdict in accordance with the facts . I Four persons were drowned on the river O use on the night of yesterday week . The ferry-boat belonging-t > rWhitgift Ferry was run down . by the Empress steampacket , while the former was crossing the river and tlie latter was going along it . It was completely turned at imi uuiv
over . Six persons were auoaru we . umc , < two were saved . The Rev . Sandford Connor , assistant military .. chaplain- at the Artillery Garrison , " Woolwich , Mt indisposed last Sunday , and the order for Divine service was consequently countermanded . About the middle oi the day his servant found him in a state of syncope . . Moihcal assistance was promptly summoned , but Mr . Connor was dead . He was about thirty years of age . His dealh b « nn = fn linvn resulted from apoplexj ' , and the coroners

State Op Trade. The Condition Of The Chi...
STATE OP TRADE . The condition of the chief manufacturing towns during the ' week ending last Saturday was not much brighter lhanU has been for some time past . There is " still a great suspension of business at Manchester , B . rmmgham Nottingham , Leicester , Halifax , Preston , and several other towns The number of people suddenly reduced to idleness and destitution , in Lancashire is immense . A . panic ol oomi f
prevails throughout the iron district * , o ^»«« - shire , and the approaching winter is looked iipori in mSt parts of the country ^ vith very gloomy feelings . At Leeds and the immediate neighbourhood , however , the woollen cloth trade , though depressed , does , not- continue to sink lower , and u hopeful spirit exists with ] respect to the future .
