The lectures for the London artisans given by University men,

which were so popular last winter in Shoreditch (Dr. Martin and Messrs. j. E. H. Gordon, Hallam, Tennyson, G. Campbell Macaulay being the lecturers), are to be followed up in earnest, we hear, by a regularly-organised "Society for the London Exten- sion of University Teaching." This society begins 'its work in October. Courses of lectures and classes on political economy, English history, astronomy, electricity, and magnetism will be held during the ensuing winter at the London Institution, Fins- bury Circus ; at the City of London College, Leadenhall Street; at the Birkbeck Institution, Chancery Lane ; at the Working- men's College, Great Ormond Street ; and at the Wimbledon Lecture Hall.
