Abstract
WE are glad to learn, from the list of birthday honours, that the Companionship of the Bath has been conferred on Dr. James Bell, F.R.S., and the Companionship of St. Michael and St. George on Mr. Ellery. A baronetcy has been granted to Prof. Stokes; but, seeing that Prof. Stokes has been for many years President of the Royal Society, and that the Government never thought of offering him any special honour until he entered the House of Commons, we may conclude that he receives his baronetcy not as an illustrious investigator, but as a politician.
