PRINCE ALBERT VICTOR AND THE LONDON POOR.

Maiden Speech of the Prince. Under the presidency of Professor Seeley a largely attended meeting of tlie Graduates and Undergraduates of the University of Cambudge was held on the 24th in the Guildhall, Cambridge, for the purpose of cooperating with themombers of the University of Oxford in the establishment of a settlement of Univeesity men in the Eastern poition of London. — A resolution to that effect having been moved by Professor Wescott, Piince Albert Victor of Wales, who, on rising, was received with great applause, said — Gentleman, I think myself very happy in having been able to be one of those who tins evening have had the pleasure of hearing what has been done for the settlement of Oxford men in the midst of I am sure Cambridge men will be glad to bear a hand m this good w oik, more especially as lCb main object is to help those who are wishing to help themselves (applause). All such help given in a brothei ly spirit not only bles&cs him who receives, but also him who gives ; and this work clove by University men in Whitechapel and Stepney thus induces the sympathies and opens up a broader view of life to those engaged in it thau is possible for us to obtain while living in the West-end of London only. I have heard to-night of the many ways in which this help may be rendered. It is not for me now to dwell upon any of those in particular ; but we must all see, 1 am sure, that nothing is more necessary for budding up a healthy commonwealth than that all classes or parties, whether political or religous, should unite together in the attempt to better, not only each other, but the community (applause). It i 3 because the present movement, started by the University of Oxford, and now to be joined by the University of Cambridge, endeavours to do this, and to help in the physical, moral, political, aud intellectual bettering of our fellowcountrymen, in the Eastern parts of London, and to make them thus worthier citizens, not only of the great metropolis, but also of our wider England, to which we all alike feel 'such devotion, that I, for one, give n them my heartiest sympathy (applause). — The resolution was carried, and votes of thanks concluded the meeting.

Only three students attended the German classes in the Otago University last year. J)r Gross is quoted in the Philadelphia Clinical Record as saying that if the brain is penetrated by a ball, the rule to let it alone is an exceedingly bad on : investigation has shown that the brain can be handled to a considerable extent with impunity, and there is a great future for operations within the cranial cavity.
