The tale before us is one of domestic life, and its interest consists, as the title implies, in the chequered events in the lives of the fair young heroines. The story commences by presenting them to us when they are on the eve of leaving their instructress—one to return to her country parsdnage, the other to meet comparative strangers in her parents, who have just arrived from India. Agnes Churchill and Maude Lascelles are as dif ferent in their dispositions as in their prospects. Agnes, though of a gayer and more lively temper than her friend, possesses more strength of mind and determination of character than Maude, who sacrifices the happiness of her life from a mis taken sense of duty. Maude is not, however, as conscientious in trifles as in greater matters, and a little more straightforwardness and candour would have preserved her from much suffering. Added to which, her imprudence and want of dignity, in so quickly forming an attachment to an . entire stranger, cannot be overlooked. We will leave the reader to unravel for himself the intricacies of the plot, merely saying that, after being disappointed in her first affection, Maude is induced, under the threat of her father's ruin to marry Lord Swindon, who is half an idiot. Misled by the fatal illusion which has drawn so many from the right path, of " doing evil that good may come," she yields her consent, and becomes Lady Swindon. The moral in this tale is properly carried out. It shows that such a serious error, of judgment once committed, such a departure from the undeviating rule of right and wrong once followed, though from the most plausible motives, nothing but wretchedness and wrong can follow. Those who, perplexed by its seeming expediency and safety follow this delusive principle, may depend ou it, that however smoothly it may premise at first it will but lead them further and further from the straight road, which at first they never thought of quitting. On the other hand, a firm adherence to the broad principles of right, though it may appear to be the most unpro mising,and difficult course, will in the end prove the clue that shall extricate us from the most intri cate labyrinth of doubts, perplexities, and cares. If this result does net always appear in works 'of fiction where the adjustment of affairs is under the control of the writer's fancy, it need never be doubted in real life, where an overruling Provi deuce guides and governs, all. In the present in stance, however, the sequel is in accordance with this doctrine ; for, had poor Maude stood firm, and not suffered herself to be blinded with hopes of saving others from misfortune and effecting good, she would soon have discovered that the risk of her father's fortune was but nominal, and that the sa,cri:ice which was demanded of her was as unne cessary as it was unprincipled and cruel. The career of her friend Agnes showed a happier teach ing,•and it was fortunate for her that she had been educated in self-government and discretion. Had Maude been in her place she would certainly have involved herself in lasting misery, instead of merely suffering a transient sorrow. The authoress does not shine iuher heroes. Mr. Leslie is almost too good, too equable to be interesting, and of Sir George Fortescue very little is said until the conclusion. Colonel Dudley is certainly intended neither for an author's nor a reader's favourite. His con duct cannot be too strongly reprobated, too un hesitatingly. condemned. The illusion respecting Lord Dublin is very skilfully preserved. Neither of the fair heroines appear to possess much discern ment in regarding him with esteem and admiration on one side ' and such passionate attachment on the other. It does not say much for the perceptive faculties of those who were so constantly associated with him, if they did not discover some lurking trace of the selfishness, the deceit and inconstancy that were his characteristics. The reader hardly pities him his tragical fate. The lives of these two interesting heroines seem to have divided the sun shine and storm. Maude's path, though it might be partly of her own choosing, certainly led her among the shadows of life ; while that of Agnes, though for a time darkened by her treacherous lover and unhappy friend, brought her at last to the unclouded sunshine that she so well deserved. The plot is skilfully arranged, and the style agreeable. A few of the quotations, however, might be omitted with advantage. The interest through out is well sustained, and though, for a time, it is of a painful nature, and, though some of the incidents cannot be called pleasing, it may be regarded as a very attractive and well-written tale. cumstance the memoirs acquire increased interest. value and pleasantness of electricity as a curative We had almost forgotten to notice a curious paper agent, when used under medical direction, adduc on agricultural matters, and a letter in which refer- ing a number of remarkable cases in his own prac ence is made to the poet Campbell, then in needy tice, as well as that of others, by way of illustration. circumstances..

It is written with care and ability, and contains many striking and affecting criticisms on the great masters of Italian Literature. It is observed that Italy may be said to have created music and paint ing, as the fragments of the sister arts transmitted from the ancient world were barely sufficient to give to the artists the rudest idea. In literature, it is observed that in many departments Italy has equalled, if not,surpassed, her masters : " In pas toral Sanazzaro, Tasso, and Guarini may compete with Bion and Theocritus, or with any . of their Roman imitators. If the comedies of Ariosto and Ciecchi have not the moral of Aristophanes, they partake, in a greater degree than the plays of that writer, of the sprightly vivacity of Moliere. In lyrics Italy has produced a host of writers, who sublimity the sweetness of Anacreon with the of Piudar, with an exuberance of imagi nation and a diversity of feeling to which Anacreon and Piudar were unequal. With respect to the greatest production which requires the highest, combination of talents to execute, Homer and. Virgil might deem it no indignity to be contrasted with Ariosto and his Ferrarese successor, and to own in many points their inferiority of burlesque poetry the Greeks may be said to know nothing. It is the Italian's own creation, and in this field he Yet stands unrivalled." In political and. natural science, the distinction which Italian discoverers and philosophers attained is also clearly - shown, and the writer places this epoch above any other before or since. An interesting notice of the " Life and Letters of James Watt," recently published, gives a sketch of his history, and of the progress of his great mechanical inventions. It is happily re marked that he did for the steam-engine what Augustus did for Rome. He found it " a clumsy, imperfect, intermitting machine, fit for little else but to serve as a drawer of water ; he left it a com plex elegant engine, governing itself with extraor dinary precision, and capable of employing its powers in almost any task that might be prescribed.", A paper on " Our New Religions" treats with de served ridicule the founders of those speculative theories, who, in the presumption of ignorance, attacking sultjects above their comprehension, lose themselves and their followers in a hopeless laby rinth, from which they escape by taking refuge in imaginations so fantastic, and expressions so ab struse that few can challenge or refute them ; their best weapon being their utter unintelligibility . . A. notice of Giustinian's " Court of Henry VIII.," and the "Memoirs of James Montgomery," are among the most attractive of the remaining papers. THE "TOKING" IN THE ENNIST.ILLENS -SERGEANT BRODIE IN PRISOA% SPURTING INTEILIGE-XCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER. --TUESDAY. ; Settling upon the Chester Cup commenced on Satin.. day, ate' has since progressed satisfactorily, the layers of the odds being no gainers by the industry they have displayed in bettieg upon that lone-pending event, all of them, without exception, having lai d their full atnount against Scythian. The question of what would have been the probable result had the horses been started at the proper place, is frequently discussed, and various are the opinions upon it. But the conduct of Kr. Hibburd, the starter, meets with general censure, it being conci dered by all that he committed an egregious error, by starting the horses fully a quarter of a mile before they had arrived atthe proper place, thereby increasing the distance to two miles and a half, which must have been prejudicial to the chances of those horses whose forte is a shorter distance. We are of °Orden that he has estab lished a daegerous precedent, and that its reception ought tobe protested against ; forif astarter is allowed to have such a prerogative, it will become needless to fix distances, and jockeys will never be able to form any idea when they may be called, upon to start, and no doubt that the untimely start in question accounts in some measure for W. Day's three horses (which includes the favourite) being so much in the rear when the flag dropped, as a start from that point would not for a moment be anti cipated by the jockeys. Yesterday the betting upon the Derby and Oaks underwent a considerable change : for the latter, Habena receded from 5 to 2 to 5 to 1 ; and for the former event, Lord of the Isles was backed at 5 to 1, that figure being offered agst St. Hubert. De Clara was in great force, at 6to 1. To-day, although there was a good muster, we saw very little betting, beyond what was done upon the Suffolk Stakes. Habena, for the Oaks, was in better odour, 3 to 1 being the highest offer against her ; 5 to 1 was taken freely about either St. Hubert, or Lord of the Isles, for the Derby, and 110 to 20 was taken about De Clare. Offers to back three against the field, and to bet asst any one naming a horse that will be in the first three. 6 ponies te 1 was taken about Game keeper, for the Cleveland Handicap. The following is the latest betting : ( From the South-Eastern Gazette.) As the ire of those officers who have been conspicuous in the late disgenceful proceedings increases in vehe mence, and disnlaya itself in the persecution of the un offending Serjeant Brodie, of the Ist Royals, so does the sympathy of the public evince itself in the condem nation of men who belie the title of "gentlemen," to which they lay claim. Hitherto the public have treated their "jokes " with contempt, but a sterner coerce of procedure will follow, we have no doubt, the following narration of " incidents " that have marked these almost unprecedented occurrences. As our materials are derived from the best possible sources, it will be as well to take up the case at the appearance of the Acting-Adjutant-General Foster, at the Barracks on Saturday week, of whose inquiry a brief outline was given in our last. Serjeant Brodie having been brought into the orderly-room, the Acting-Adjutant-General questioned him as to the occurrences on the morning of the duel, and took down the answers, witlithe exception of the statement of the serjeant that Adjutant 'Webster ordered the guard to " knock him (Brodie) down with the butt-end of their carbines, if he resisted them." The general said he did not wish to hearetliat. Adjutant Webster was present during the inquiry, and repeatedly laughing, and telling the general that " hal of Strjeant Brodie's statements were lies." Serjeant Brodie was then sent back to his room a prisoner. and in about half-an-hour again taken to the orderly-room, when Lieut.-Colonel M`Queen, Adjutant Webster, Lieut. hlartopp, and other officers were present, but the general had left. The colonel addressed the serjeant saying, "I have taken upon myself to have you brought back, to inform you that I release you, on my own responsi bility ; you don't know your duty. There's not another man in the service that would have done as you have done. I can tell you that there is a serjeant-sad dler made in your place, out with the regiment, and you can't hold your situation as serjeant-saddler much longer, for you will have to go to your duty." Serjeant °Brodie expressed his regret, but said, " That (pointing to Web ster) was the man he went out to save." The serjeant was then released. Last Wednesday, however, at about ten o'clock at night, the regimental serjeant went to false He e statements was accordingly affe Brodie's room, and informed him that it was his (the ser jeant'e) duty to place him (B ro die) under arrest, " for making arrested. o affecting the the cterofan officer." next morning (Thursday) the serjeant was ushered into the erderly-room, and the charge read over to him, when iie declined making any statement in answer to it. de still remains under arrest, but up to yesterday evening no legal charge cr order of courtnnartial had been served on him. Serjeant Brodie had been in the regiment 18 years, and never before been under punish ment, or charged with any dereliction of his duty. With respect to the charge now brought against the :ergeant, his friends represent the following as the real facts. About five weeks since, Baumgarten represented that he was in tiara of money. and Brodie offered to get him some, and subsequently the watch belonging to the Fortner was transferred to the possessiou of the latter, who advanced 201. on it, as Brodie viewed the matter ; but it appears, from Bauragarten'a statement, that lie looked upon the transaction as a bona fide purchase, and nut as a loan., Shortly after, Brodie inadvertently told a Mr. Hollam (the veterinary surgson) of the affair, in confidence, and hence it became known to the officers. As a proof of-the extent of persecution and annoyance noel exercised towards the sergeant, it is stated that Captain Fitzwygram, Lieutenant Hartopp, and Lien tenant Webster have given . strict orders that no work whatever is to be taken to him. So much for the case of the sergeant ; let us now turn to Cornet Baumgarten. Hero _is a brief glance at his experience, since entering the Royal Buniskillen Dra goons, also drawn from authentic sources. About a week or ten days after joining the regiment, while read ing in bishmoin with a college friend, the door was burst open suddenly, the lights extinguished, and three or four officers entered, one of them with a shovelful of hot coals, over which was sprinkled aoine Cayenne pepper. A. most suffocating vapour was thus produced, and upon the window being opened by Mr. Baumgarten, a quan tity of water was thro wn in. A few days after that the room door was again burst open, the drawers con taining his linen and regimentals completely filled with water, and filthy water poured into the ewer. This treatment led Baumgarten to complain to his own cap tain, Fitzwygram, who assured him that it should not occur again, as he (Captain Fitz wygratn) would use his influence to prevent it. , A very short time after that, however, Baumgarten s room door was again broken open, and three or four officers enter ed in. Baum garten was then in bed, and the place in darkness. His drawers were all turned over and their contents spread about the room, while a quantity of broken glass was thrown upon the bed, as well as water. Baum garten jumped out of bed and struck one of the in truders in the face, and a fight ensued ; eventually the officer succeeded in driving his tormentors away. Upon looking at the room afterwards it presented a perfect 'wreck, everything being destroyed that could be broken. The plume of his helmet was cut to pieces, while the stable was visited, and the forelock of his charger cut off close to the skin, the latter bleeding from the operation, and the animal being deprived of its tail, thus rendered it valueless for a time as a charger. Baumgarten could put up with such treatment no longer ; he accordingly, on the next morning, complained to the acting colonel 24‘Queen. That officer began to inquire into the matter seriously, when Webster, the acting adjutant, made an apology to the insulted cornet, and promised that if he would withdraw the charge, he (Webster) would gua rantee that no further annoyances would take place. Baumgarten, acting upon that promise, withdrew the complaint. But a few days, however, had elapsed, before the annoyances were repeated with greater violence than ever, seven windows of his room being broken at once, as well as the looking - g lass ; a brush out to• pieces and placed in the bed ; a p rivate drawer broken open, and the manuscripts and papers cast on the floor ; and on another occasion au improper charac ter was pushed into his room and the door fastened, so that Baumgarten was obliged to let himself out of the window to the ground, and go round, after the officers had left, unfasten.the door, and send the intruder adrift. de.then complained to Captain Fitzwygram, who pro• raised to inquire into the 'natter J but no apology was made to the outraged cornet, and the arrangements re specting the duel subsequently took plitee. Since that affair occurred, Captain Fitzwyg ram visited Cornet Baumgarten, and told him certain conditions that were required to be complied with by him, by the offi cers of the mess, and subsequently committed such eon• ditions to writing, and handed the paper to the cornet, requesting him to sign them, and retire from the service, or lie would be forced to quit the army in disgrace. These conditions were to the following effect :--Ist. To state-that sufficient grounds had been discovered respect ing his early career to induce the officers to treat him with contumely. 2d. That Lord Shaftesbury should, in the House of Lords, through an explanation and state ment furnished by him (Cornet Baumgarten) make a retraction of the statement his lordship had made to the House of Lords, to the effect that " the acts of the Offi cers towards Baumgarten were filthy and disgustiug, and could not be tolerated among Christian gentlemen, where the commateling officer wee a Christian and a gentleman." The last condition was, that he (Baum garten) should immediately retire from the regiment. Of course Cornet Baumgarten refused to comply with such conditions, and there the wetter stands now. It is understood that a full detail of the whole particulars has been furnished to Lord Shaftesbury and the Hon. Mr. Stanley, and the public may therefore rest assured that if the Horse Guards fails to punish such flagrant acts of injustice and disgusting tom-foolery that have been displayed towards both the cornet and the sergeant, in a manner commensurate with their character, the British legislature will take the matter in its hands, and, we hope, mete out fair and impartial justice to all parties. It should be stated that Lieut. Webster has been re lieved of his adjutancy, and the colonel has been sum moned to town. , It is understood that the services of Mr. T. T. Dela. sa ux, solicitor of Canterbury, and Mr. Huddlestone, barrister of London, have been secured for Sergeant Brodie, should he be brought to trial. A public meeting s also to be held in the city in a few days, in his behalf. - CLEVICI4A.ND HANDICAP. 6to 1 aist Gamekeeper (taken) • DERBY. 9to 2 agst St. Hubert (5 to 1 taken freely) 9 to 2 agst Lori of the Isles (5 to 1 t. freely) 100 to 20 agst De Clare (taken) 10 to 1 agst Rifleman (offered) 100 to 9 agst Wild Dayrell (offered) 100 to 6 agst Grmculus Esurieus (offered) 20 to T agst Kingstown (take 25 to 1) 20 to 1 agt Flatterer (take 25 to 1) 50 to 1 agst Benhams (taken and offered) 50 to 1 agst Noicy (offer , d—take 66 to 1) 50 to 1 agst Vexation colt (~ f fdred) 100 to 1 agst StrJot' (offered) OAK E: - 3to 1 agst Habetia (take 4to 1 freely) 6to 1 agst Nettle (offered) Bto 1 agst Capucine (taken) 100 to 9 agst Blooming Heather (offered) 12 to 1 apt Morgan la Faye (taken), 12 to 1 agst Ramblng Katie (offered) NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING, EDINBURGH RAC.ES.—YESTERDAT.

By this arrangement the celebrated "Row ley Mile Plate," which has more than once brought out a Derby winner, became for the nonce the "Bunbury Mile Plate." The following note, extracted from the 13th number of the Racing Calendar, explains the reason of the altera tions of the courses at this meeting : " A great part of the races this week are on the Round Course and Bunbury Mile, where the ground is very good, beicg reserved for use in the sunoLer ; and if the dry weather continues the other races not yet closed will be vets on the same ground, corresponding distances, namely—T.Y.C., on the new T.Y.C. ; half mile races, the Chesterfield Stakes course ; and mile races, the 8.M., &c. The courses will be declared at the time of entering each evening." The weather was cold, cloudy, and showery, and the attendance of company remarkably scanty. Acrobat has arrived.

The Attingham Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 30 added, for three-yr-olds ; colts, eat ; And AU* t3st ; the The North British Review. This Review opens with an eloquently-written article on " Sir Walter Raleigh and his Time," by an enthusiastic admirer of Queen Elizabeth. It is somewhat rare to meet with so devoted b. partisan of that celebrated 'queen ; for though her era has always been one of the most famous in English history, and though one of our greatest sovereigns, she is not generally regarded with much of the affectionate reverence with which she seems to have inspired this author, and her vanities and selfish ness as a woman somewhat mar the effect of her renown as a queen. The second article is on " Scottish University Reform," which comes to the Conclusion that money, as the outward symbol of external encouragement, is almost the one thing needful at present ; and the writer considers the case to be much more simple and easily dealt with than that of Oxford or Cambridge. A very inte resting paper on " The Life and Inventions of James Watt" gives a brief sketch of the most remarkable events in his history. An article en titled "Literary Coteries" is a review of "Lady Bles sin gton's Life and• Correspondence." It is written in a fair, 'and impartial spirit, and expresses just aud sensible views. A. paper on the melancholy subject of " Our Military Disasters and 'Olen Causes" concludes the number. --- Gout and Rheumatism, and the Curative Effects of Galvani sm . B y Richard Moore Lawrance, M.A., M.D. Henry Renshaw. A valuable handbook for the general practi-, tioner, and an i nva l ua bl e b oon to those who are afflicted with gout and rheumatism. The work is divided into two parts. In the first we are pre sented with a graphic outline of the general histerh nature, and powers of electricity, more especially .in relation to the huMan frame. In the second the author discourses learnedly on.tlic above painfill diseases, in their various forms, and points out the RKICT NEWS-(TIIIS DAL) - CORN EXCFIANGE. The supply of English wheat on sale to-day was very moderate, and chiefly the refuse of Monday's market. For most kinds the demand was in a sluggish state, but we have no actual change to notice in prices. In foreign wheat—the show of which was limited—very few sales took place en former terms. Floating cargoes realised full quotations. We had a dull inquiry for barley and malt, at last week's prices. There was loss activity in the oat trade, at the late im provement in value. Beaus, peas, and flour realised former rates. Wheat. 1,010 AILKIVALx TIM 'Mm. Bar4Bo ley. Malt. flats. Flour. 1,680 1,143 520 -- -- 150 -- 700 -- 7,440 --scks, English ..

POSITION OF AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna thus comments on the present position of Austrian double-facedness : " You long ago learned that it was the question of splitting the difference' between the Russian propositions and those of the Western Powers, and, reliable information was yesterday given me that Prussia was anxious to induce Austria to agree to propose to the 'Western Powers — though perhaps not in as many words—the status quo ante bellunt in the Black Sea. Whether Austria will lend herself to such a scheme remains to be seen, but if England and France should, after havin ,, sacrificed so much blood ana treasure, consent to such terms, they will necessarily lose caste in Europe, and ussia will have an opportunity of placing her foot on the necks of Turkey and Austria a few years sooner than will .otherwise be the case. The expression used in the last part of the foregoing sentence will, in all likelihood, give offence here, but it is my firm and unalterable conviction, based on a care ful and even painful study of the Eastern question, that if Russia comes victoriously out of the pre sent Austria is the Power which will first feel the consequences. France and England will care for Turkey, but will they be willing to make sacrifices for Austria." MILITARY MOVEMENTS IN RUSSIA. A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 28th ult. in the Constitutionnel, says :—" During the las five weeks the Emperor has reviewed the 4th and sth battalions, as well as the artillery of the re serve, which soon after commenced their march. Do not, however, imagine that this is the only movement that has taken place in the provinces of the Baltic. We know hero that a greater activity prevails in the preparations of defence than last year. By temporising for nearly six mouths in negotiations, the Russians have been able to gain the time necessary to withdraw their troops from the different cantonments, and to organise reserves on the necessary points, Mos cow being the centre, so that they have thus been able to overcome one of the greatest obstacles to defensive operations in Russia—the immense dis tance that troops have to be brought in order to concentrate them in the frontier provinces. Three days ago the Grand Duke Constantine went to Cron stadt, but has since returned. He there inspected the volunteers of the flotilla of row-boats formed last year for the defence of the coast of the Gulf of Finland. Being indefatigable in his wish to justify the confidence reposed in him by the Sove reign, tile Grand Duke every day gives proofs of his activity both in the Council and in his own department. He has just concentrated and simpli fied the management of affairs in the technical part of the naval service, and firmly maintains his re solution to oppose all conditions of peace tending to limit the naval forces of Russia. The accounts which arrive from Sebastopol, far from being so satisfactozy as the reports of General Gortschakoff, announce that, notwithstanding all the genius of the . Russian generals, and particularly of Genera' Totleben, the besiegers every day advance closer to the fortifications of the place. The day before yesterday a courier left this for the head-quarters of General Luders, commander-in-chief of the army of the south, ordering him to accelerate the con centration of his troops, in order to paralyse the active co-operation of Austria. If we succeed in retarding the participation of Austria in the war until the winter, we shall be stronger by a whole army composed of the last levy of recruits." PRESENT STRENGTH OF RUSSIA IN THE CRIMEA. The military correspondent of the Augsburg Gazette writes from the Polish frontier that the reinforcements received by the Russian cAnmandefi in the west of the Crimea since the hatt!e of Inkerman bear no proportion to those which have joined the Allies. He says, "Nume rically, Omer Paella's corps alone is almost equal to the entire reinforcement of the Russians. The new Russian troops which have entered the Crimea since the battle just mentioned are the following :—The 2d brigade of the 13th reserve infantry division, and the two brigades 'of the 14th reserve infantry division, forming together 12 battalions, or at most 9,000 men ; further, the 9th in fantry division, at present near Perekop, and numbering possibly 10,000 men. These and a Greek volunteer bat talion make up the ieinforcements of the Russian infan try since the battle of Inkerman, for the troops of the second infantry corps, represented by some journals as having marched to the Crimea, and the division of Gene ral Wagner, said by the Austrian Military Gazette to be in the Valley of Baidar, are not there; the second corps, in fact, is still in Poland. Before the battle of Inker man the Russians had no more than 70,000 infantry in the Crimea; at the present moment they should have about 90,000. The cavalry force which has joined the Russian army since the battle of Inkerman consists 91 six regular regiments. If 'we reckon the crews of the ships at 8,000, and the Tchernomorskischen battalions at 6,000 the rifles, sappers, engineers, and artillery at 15,000 ; and the cavalry, regular and irregular, at 20,000 —the Itus&ian army at Perekop, Eupatoria, and near Sebaet >poi will number about 140,000 men." UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, MAY 8 THE NEW MUSEUM. --•- ----- - The museum delegacy having resolved that it is desi rable that the University should accept the tender of Messrs. Lucas and Son, of London, amounting to 29,041/., for the erection of a museum according to the plan of Messrs. Dean and Woodward, approved by Convocation on the Bth of December last, modified in some respects with the approbation of the delegacy, it was proposed in a convocation held on this afternoon, to affix the Uni versity seal to a contract with Messrs. Lucas for the exe cution of the plans, thus modified, on the terms above stated. The convocation was numerously attended. After the registrar had read the agreement, a scrutiny was demanded, the result of which was, that the propo sal was carrried by a majority of 103 votes, the num bers being—placets, 123, non-placets, 20. In the sane convocation a decree, empowering the Vice-Chancellor, during a vacancy in the office of Regius Professor of Civil Law, to appoint ,a Doctor of Civil Law to discharge the professor's functions with respect to examinations and exercises. In a congregation holden immediately afterwards, a short statute was promulgated, having for its object the repeal of a clause by which statutes are prevented from taking effect till 30 days after they have passed the House of Convocation, and providing that unless other wise determined in the body of the statute, they shall be of force immediately. Dr. Bliss, we understood, sub mitted an amendment. Mr. Marriott also addressed the house. PROFESSOR OF MUSIC. 'This morning the Proctors (in whom the appointment is vested) appointed the Rev. Sir Frederick A. G-: Ouseley, Bart., M.A., a D.ictor of Music ) of Christ Church and Dr. Heathers to be Professor of Music in room of the late Sir Henry Rowley Bishop. In a convocation to beholden on Thursday next, the 10th inst., at 10 o'clock, the following decree will be submitted for the approbation of the house :—Decrevit Academia ut si quis vanante officio Professoris Juris Civilis Regii, vel Lecturis a Professore in locum vacantem suffecto nondum habitis, ad Baccalaureatum in Jure Civiti promoveri cupiat, ad - supplicandum pro Gratia, admittatur, quamquam Lecturis prout Statuta (Tit. VI, sec. 2) requirunt, non interfuerit. R. L. COTTON, Vice-Chancellor. THE GREENLAND SEAL FISHERY.—The tady Franklin, Captain Penny, arrived at Aberdeen on Friday, from Greenland, with 6,000 seals, yielding nearly 70 tons of oil. - She left the ice on Monday morning, and thus made the passage home in four days. The Lady Franklin brings k reports of the fishery down to the 19th of April. The Peterhead sealers had killed above 100,000 seals, which will boil above 10,000 tons of oil. The various ships fished as follows : Resolution, 9000; Magentheim, 7000 ; Active, 9000 ; Columba, 9000 ; Agostina, 10,000; Traveller, 10,000 ; Dublin; full ; Gem, 1000 ; Gipsy and dianthus, sealing ; Victor, 3000 ; Enterprise, 3000 ; Alert, 1000 ; North of Scotland, 3000 ; Ranger, 1000.
