Mr. Sylvester, who was Second Wrangler at Cans-
' bridge in the year 1837, and who had already made for
himself a name in the world of science, before he entered at
the University, has just been appointed Professor of Ma-
thematics, at Woolwich. Mr. S3lvester, some years hack,
obtained much celebrity by disquisitions on abstruse
branches of mathematical analysis. The appointment is
one with which the public cannot but be pleased. Mr. Syl-
vester, it is well known, has a passionate love for the
science, which he bas cultivated for so many years.
DEATH OF LIEUT.-COLONEL UNETT.—lntelligence
has been received in Birmingham of the death of this distin-
guished officer. He was reported "severely wounded "at
the late tumult upon Sebastopol ; and on Saturday night
his family in Birmingham received information of the fatal
result. The gallant colonel was much beloved by his
cement.
'IRE AMENDED BEER AM.—Yesterday no fewer
I than twelve of the licensed victuallers of Gravesend were
summoned for intriegiog the beer act of the last session, by
keeping open their houses between the hours of thee* and
Ave on the previous afternoon. After bearing the ',Rhinos
the Mayor said there was no desire to impose any heavy
penalties noon the defendants. He trusted that they would
now be alive to the necessity of having their doors dosed,
and that they would not give rise to any further complaint.
Mr. Gates, of the Pope's Head, who had been previously
cautioned. and /dr. Watkins, who bad not appeared, would
each be fined sr. ; but with respect to the other defendants
the court felt that a penalty of ad. in each sue, with costa,
would be sufficient to meet what was required. He would
add that the act was far more extended in its operations
then the former one, and the weeds " open" and" keeping
open" clearly showed the intention of the 'egislature in
paring it. If the Seemed victuallers would only show
some outward compliesee with the act of Parliament no
further Betio, would be taken, although, strictly speaking,
the act required the !mums to be closed.
