first in the general list. For the next three years he was
engaged in tuition, during which time he matriculated at
the London University, and carried off the Exhibition in
mathematics, besides passing the Honor Examination in
Classics and Chemistry. From this time he seems to have
devoted his attention more particularly to mathematics, and
his career bas been one of uninterrupted anemic In 1864 he
obtained the first minor scholarship for mathematics at
St. John's College, Ciunbridge, and in Juae gained the
mathematical exhibition at the first ILA. examination at
the London University. He subsequently graduated there,

was elected a foundation scholar of St. John's.
Mr. E. J. Routh, of Pcterhouae (senior wrangler in

Moulton's college tutor.

THE LATE GALE.-LIFEBOAT SERVICES.

MOELFRE,ANGLESEY, JAN. 23.

Intelligence was brought here yesterday evening
(reports the Rev. William Williams) that four men were
on the Pulse Rocks. It was blowing hard from the east,
and there was a heavy sea on at the time. The London
Sunday School and Charles Sears lifeboat of the I\a•
tional Lifeboat Institution was promptly launched, and
fortunately succeeded in rescuing the poor fellows, who
were found to be the crew of the schooner Douglas Pen-
nant, of Carnarvou, which had been wrecked about 2
o'clock that morning.

-
I'ENZANCE, JAN. SI.
Nichoba B. Downing, Esq., gives the details of the
wreck referred to in his telegram of this morning. He
states, that about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a messen-
ger from Mansion stated that allege vessel was off there
in such a position that she must go ashore. The Richard
Lewis lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institu-
tion, was thereupon promptly got out and taken
on her transporting carriage to that place. On
reaching the spot, it was found that the ship
was a Prussian barque, the Die Bonne, and that
she had gone ashore on the Pnize Sands, about three miles
from Porch:wen. In about an hour after striking she
went to pieces. Nine men of the crew are said to be
drowned, and only two poor fellows are saved. The life-
boat unhappily was too late to be of any service, although
no delay took place, everything possible having been done
to get her quickly to the scene of the wreck. The rocket
&Manaus was of no use, as the beach was very fiat. One
of the coastguarilamen, it is said, behaved with great
intrepidity in rescuing one man.
WINTERTON, NORFOLK, .1411. 23.
At daylight this morning, while the wind was blowing
strong trout E.N.E., a foreign schooner, laden with coal,
from Hartlepool, drove ashore about two miles and a
half south of this place (says the Rev. William Green).
The Ann Maria lifeboat, which belongs to the National
Lifeboat Institution, was launched, but before she reached
the spot the shipwrecked crew had thrown a line sabers
from the jib-boom and with the assistance of the men on
the beach were safely hauled to the shore.
FALMOUTH, JAIL 2.1.
We had a terrific gale yesterday from the westward
(says C. CUR, Esq.); during the height of the stone guns
were fired sud signals of distress hoisted by her Majesty's
ship Ganges, lying in Carrick Roads. The Gloucester
lifeboat, of the National Institution, was quickly
launched for the fine time on service, and nobly
rowed round the end of the western breakwater by her
crew. Sa was then made, and on reaching the rea
was found that an Austrian barque had draggedher
anchors, and was close to the rocky shore, but afloat. The
lifeboat was made fast to the vessel, but her services were
not ultimately needed, as two steam togs arrived and suc-
ceeded in getting her off into deep water, the wind by that
time having oonsiderably moderated.
WEXFORD, IRELAND, Jul. 22.
At daylight this morning, in a gale and very heavy sea,
a barque was observed riding at anchor in the south bay,
with a signal of distress flying (reports Wm. Coghlsn,
Esq.) 'The Civil Service lifeboat of the Lifeboat Society,
at once went off to her in tow of the steam-tug Ruby, mad
with some difficulty got alongside and found that the crew
were desirous of keeping the lifeboat there, as the
ship was leaking very much, as she had struck on the
Long Bank. The master, however, declined the services
of the lifeboat, and she therefore returned to her station.
The barque proved to be the Richmond, of Liverpool,
bound thence to liadagsacer with a general cargo.
POOLE, Dosser, JAN. 22.
Information having been received this afternoon that the
fishing lugger Louisa, of Southampton, was in distress off
Bascombe (reports Mr. G. N. Penney), the Manley Wood
lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution,
put off, but fortunately, the wind having shifted just
before the arrival of the lifeboat, the vessel got away in
safety without the boat's assistance.

WILD C4.1"8 IN THE UNITED STATER.—Speaking of
wild cats, the Hartford (Cs.) Tines remarks that these
animals are more plentiful in Litchfield county than they
were fifty years Ego, and adds:—" They are probably as
bloodthirsty an animal, in proportion to their size, as the
tiger. They will often kill sheep and other animals merely
to seek tldr blood ; though they commonly devour most
of the victim's flesh. Dogs are often charged with ra-
vages upon sheep that are really committed by wild eats.
The wild eat, thwart emoznonle regarded as • first wean
of the eararatia sat, is really • anise. weesies—as distinct

cut was shot ten years ago is lest Lyme. It
