He is thirty-five years of age, and inberited ample estates from his father, to which he added largely by his mar- riago with w lady of the wealthy family of Horr, The turf has been bis ruling passion and his ruin, Hy owned a large and costly stad, always backed his own horses, and almost always lost, To pay his tuf debts he had recourse to the money-lenders, and notably to one Panwice, called the “spider,” from his success in luring unwary young spendthrifts into his clutches. The manipulations of this man, aud of the pimps, parasites, and jockeys who were the Duke's chosen companions, together with his own Inck of judgment as sporting man, combined to clean him out; and now, having «pent his patrimony and made away with all the family estates he could lay hold of, he stands before the world a beggared and dis. graced unin, He is perhaps worse than beggared, for he owes Panwrex upward of £95,000, with no as of paying him, The latter is ene deavoring to indemnify himself by levying upon the Neweastle estates, and Mr, Guavstoxe, a pers sonal friend of the late Duke and one of the trustees named in bi now striving to save k of the family property essor, The spectacle 1 and humiliating one, but is simply @ repetition of what has happened over and over wain within the last two or three years, and will subtless prove ineffectual to warn the gilded youth of England from ruin, Two brothers of the Duke of Newcastle, Lords Aument and Artuca Pxtuam-Cuutox, are com- panions with him in disgrace, Both inherited the stender portions of younger brothers, and both have contracted debts, which they can never pay, equal to three or four times their fortunes, In most eties this would be called swindling,but in the aristocratic civeles in which these young gen- visible mei something from the wre for the present Duke's su is a a the professional as exactly as he knows his own identity, ——— Honorary Degrees—-What are they Worth? The season of college commencements is at hand, Aas is usual, in addition to tho regular diplomas of the degrves conferred upon the graduating classes, many of our institutions will confer the honorary degrees of Doctor of Divinity and Doctor of Laws, What are these honorary degrees worth ? So far as we know, they are, in this coun: try at least, purely honorary; or, rather, are tlem ve, «different view seoms to be taken of their conduct, for we read that they are re- ceived with no diminution of the affectionate ree gard bestowed in England upon the possessor of a title, nm alesse The real estate of Brooklyn was assessed jast year at $11,000,000, and the rate of taxa tion was 5 percent, This year the Assessors ave determined to raise the valuation to #182, 60,000, which will reduce the rate to about 3 per cent, Of course the actual amount paid by each owner will be no less, but the increase in valua- tion will be of some benetit to this city and other parts of the State in the apportionment of State taxes. In the course of the debate on the matter, intended so to be. No course of study is preseribed by any of our colleges by which they may be secured ; no amount of learn and acquirements suftices to obtain them, un- leas the good will or favor of a college fa- culty be first obtained. ‘This fact alone shows how entirely arbi- trary must be the standard by which the re. cipients of these honorary degrees are de- termined upon, even in those institutions where such honors are seldom bestowed, and then but rarely upon those who do not merit them, The establishment of a standard of attainments, by complying with which those degrees might be obtained, would—even though no student ever sought them in course—furnish a guide by which faculties uld be directed in their bestowal, he large number of institutions in the United States which are empowered by law to bestow degrees is another cause of the growing disrepute of those of D, D. and LL.

Such astandand of acquirements as we propose, if made uniform throughout tho colleges of the country, as it might be by their owneaction, would secure a respect for th degrees, and an ambition to obtain them, which do not now exist, ‘The recklessness with which these degrees bave hitherto been conferred is certainly ridiculous, Gen, JAcksox, who is said. ac.
