In the House of Lords on the 8th ́inst :--| The Lord Chancellor, in moving the second reading of this Bill, which had general support, said the United King- dom had extensive trade relations with some 600 millions of people speaking Oriental languages and the trade amount- ed to about 200 millions sterling. We had also relations of a different sort which required on the part of diplomatiste, sailors, and soldiers knowledge of various Oriental languages. Yet the State had done very little indeed to enable those engaged in these trade and other relations to acquire a knowledge of the languages. In Berlin the State expended £10,000 m) your on this and in Paris £7,000 a year, while this country spent almost nothing and very little from the State. In these circumstances the attention of the Govern- ment was called to what really amounted to nothing less than an evil, and it was resolved some time ago to deal with the matter. A committer was appointed under Lord Reay and reported in 1999 in favour of founding a school devoted ex- clusively to the study of Oriental. lan- guages. Following upon this an im- portant committee, of which Lord Cromer and Lord Curzon were members, reported in favour of such a school being establish ed in the City of London. In the City was the London Institution, one of those organizations which belonged rather to the Victorian period than that of to-day, and which was founded for the purpose of providing for subscribera lectures, a library, reading-rooms, and means for study. The shareholders of this institu tion, taking a public spirited view of the position, had agreed to dispose of the building subject to arrangements for giving existing members access to it. Arrangements had been made for taking over the premises and remodelling them for the school, upon which a considerable suta would be expended. There was reason to think there would be other

LLOYD'S SHIPPING RETURNS.

The returns compiled by Lloyd's Regis ter of Shipping, which only take into account vessels the construction of which has actually began, show that, excluding warships, there were 505 vessels of 1,848,829 tons gross under construction in the United Kingdom at the close of the quarter ended September 30th, as com- pared with 529 vessels of 1,774,040 tons at the end of Jané, and 403 vessels of) 1,446,317 tons at the end of September, 11. The tonnage now under construc tion is thus about 73,000 tons more than that which was in hand at the end of last quarter, and exceeds by 400,000 tons the tonnage building in September, 1911.

Of the vessels under construction in the United Kingdom at the end of September. 353 of 1,337,517 tons are under the super- vision of the surveyors of Lloyd's "Re- gister with a view to classification by the society. In addition, 116 vessels of 482,875 tons are building abroad under the Society's survey. There are thus actually under construction at the present time under the supervision of Lloyd's Register, 408 vessels of 1,820,302 tous. As pointed out in the returns for the June quarter, the total tonnage then building to the society's class was the largest ever reached up to that time, but those figures are now exceeded by no less than 101,000
