UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.--CAMBRIDGE, JAN. 14.
In the College Chapel, this day, the Rev.;Edward Atkinson,
8.D., was elected to the vacant mastership of Clare-hall, by
the vote of eighteen out of the nineteen fellows of which the
society consists. The want of unanimity on the present
occasion, was in consequence of one of the Fellows voting
for himself.

The Gazette de Dusseldorf states that the King of

of Kars. The act is declared to be highly " incon-
venient," and iucompatible with the General's military
position.

THE DANIIIIE.—By a telegraphic "despatch from
Galatz of the 31st Dec., we learn that the ice in the

about 50 ships were frozen in, as well as all the others
between those places and Sulina. At the Sulina mouth
there were lying between 400 and 500 vessels, which, in
consequence of a deficiency of lighters, and contrary
winds, could not get to sea.

CASE OF HARDSHIP "UNDER THE FORBES MACKENZIE ACT.
In the storm of the night of Tuesday, the 18th ult., at about
ten o'clock, the schooner Ellen, of Wisbeach, was cast ashore
at the entrance of the Tay. At the moment she struc%: a
poor boy was washed away and perished, and after a time
the master, mate, and two hand] succeeded in gaining the
inhospitable shore, and made for the lights on the railway.
Unfortunately it was past eleven o'clock before they were
able to claim admittance at the door of an inn, where they
were refused admittance, and an application at other houses
of so-called entertainment, these unprofitable customers
were " unheard," In fact, in Carnoustie the law is so
rigorously observed that it was three hours before these poor
half-drowned perishing strangers received that shelter they
thought they had a right to expect in a Christian land. At
last, it appears, they fell into the hands of one who con-
sidered them to be both " bona fide travellers and bona fide
fellow-creatures," and, regardless of the law, took them in
and made them as comfortable as his circumstances would
allow.—N. B. Mail.
