Btjvrrtu fcnouaana pounas.s echnological Examinations,—The City and Guilds of London institute for the Advancement of Technical Education, have just issued a revised edition of the programme for their technological examinations, which are to be held in May next, at different local oentres throughout the country. Under this system, any artisan can be examined, and, if he passes, obtain a certificate in any of the thirty-two subjects in which an examination is held. These subjeots include nearly all the principal industries of the country, and the examinations are designed to test the knowledge possessed by workmen, of the scientific principles of their business. The additions, wbioh appear for the first time in the second edition, are:—“Meoha-nical Engineering,’’ “Treatment of Ores,” “Mine Surveying,” “ Oils,” “ Fuel,” and “ Flax.” Of these the most important is the first - named, including as it does, so many different branches, each furnishing employment to such large number of workers. Classes for instruction in the various subjects have been tormed at most of the principal seats of industry in the kingdom ; but candidates are not obliged to study in one of these classes before entering tor examination. The only test required is that the candidate should pass in one of certain selected snbjeots of the Science and Art Department Examination. He can do this either before or after passing the technological examination. Copies of the programme can be had, gratis, and free by post, on application at the halls of the Mercers’, Clothworkers’, or Drapers’ Companies. Liberal prizes are offered in all the subjects of examination, as well as certificates in three grades.Irish Relief.—A d
