The Harvard Union will meet this evening. The question for debate is, "Resolved, that less than the whole number of a jury should be competent to render a verdict in all cases." Mr. E. J.

This question has been brought prominently before the public by the recent Cincinnati riot and an interesting discussion upon it may be expected.
