authorised by the prolocutor to state that the meeting of
the convocation of this province on Tuesday next, the 17th
inst., will be only pro forma

REQUIEM FOR SOLDIERY KILLED IN THE WAR.—
(THIS Day.)—This morning a solemn requiem mass was
sung in the catholic church, Farm-street, Berkeley-square,
" for the repose of the souls of the Austrian soldiers who
fell in the late battles in Bohemia and in Italy." The
beautiful chapel was draped in black.
Mr. F. Lyoett,one of the sheriffs elect for London
and Middlesex, has nominate,' a Wesleyan minister to act
as his chaplain for the year of his shrievalty. The new
chaplain is the Rev. George Thomas Perks, now officiat-
ing at Highbury. Mr. Lycett has appointed Mr. Deputy
de Jersey as his under-sheriff.
THE MAYOR OF HULL AND THE EMPEROR OF
Rrssia.—The Eastern Counties Herald publishes the fol-
lowing announcement :—" On Saturday last the Mayor
(Alderman H. J. Atkinson) left Hull for St. Petersburg, on
board the steamer Lion. The Mayor's chain and robes
were put on board, and in these his worship will be arrayed
when presented to the Russian Emperor, for the purpose
of submitting to his Majesty the address of congratulation
passed by the Hull Town Council and the Chamber of Com-
merce, on his recent escape from assassination."
WESTMINSTER SCHOLARS DURING THE COMMON-
WEALTH. —The curtain which divided the upper school
from the lower has already been mentioned. One day a
boy was so unlucky as to tear it ; and Ruaby's known se-
verity left no doubt of the punishment that would follow.
The offender was in despair, when • generous school-fellow
volunteered to take the blame upon himself, and suffered
in his friend's stead accordingly. The boys grew up, and
took different sides in the civil wars. John Glynne (who
was the real culprit) became a serjeant-at-law (and even.
tually Chief-Justice to Cromwell), and sat as one of the
commission to try the prisoners who had been taken in
Penruddock's unsuccessful rising in the King's cause at
Salisburr, in 1654. Among others who were sentenced to
death, Sr John Glynne saw a face which struck him as
familiar; he found upon inquiry that it was no other than
his old schoolfellow, William Wake, now a Royalist co-
lonel, who had taken his flogging at Westminster. He
said nothing then, but took horse and went straight to the
Lord-Protector, and obtained his friend's life as a personal
favour.—BlacLoood's Maga:jet for July.
