The Marquis of Londonderry has been appointed the new Chairman

of the London School Board on the motion of Mr. Diggle, all the Moderates and three of the Progressives voting for his election. The greater number of the Progressives did not vote at all, and there was therefore no opposition. Of course there was a little skirmish between Mr. Lyulph Stanley and Mr. Diggle as to the " impartiality " of the latter's conduct when he presided over the London School Board, but the skirmish was 'brief and not perhaps quite so acrimonious as in former debates.
