THE DEATH OF DR. DONALDSON.--OUr readers
will learn with regret that this distinguished scholar
died on Sumhiy last. Fur some months past his
family and fr.enils had been alarmed by symptoms
of a brain over-wrought, and his 'somewhat sod-
den death may perhaps be regarded as • less severe
aftlictioa than the extinction of intellectual power with
with which he was threatened. In addition to the severe
labour of training avinnts for the biglie-4 classical
honours at Cambridge, and his duties as classical exa-
miner in London University, he had been engaged in
preparing a new edition of his classicsl works, and in
that most oppressive of tasks, the compiliog of a Greek
Lexicon, which should he adequate to his renown as a
Greek scholar. His physic! strength was evidently
unequal to ouch accumulated pressure. He was • man of
prodigious attainments in languages, and in the science of
language. In these he was aided by his wonderful powers
of memory. The dates, names, and minutest details of
history were ever present to his mind, and he could illus.
trate a philological argument by instant quotations from
the most recondite Greek plays and treatises, with
as much facility as if thee were the popular ballads of
his country. His contributions to claiisiail Vitenture
and education are numerous and invaluable. He was
not so successful as a schoolmaster as might have been
expected. His talents were, perhaps, too exclusively
literary ; they were deficient in that administrative tact
and discrinduation of character which is essential to
• schoolmaster. Bat his career as head master for thirteen
years of King Edward's Grammar School, in this town, was
in no means barren of fruits, and the impulse which be gave
to literary tastes by the establishment of the library, lec-
tures at the Mechanics' Institute and Athenaeum, and the
influence of his scholarship, will lung be felt among us.—

CURIOCS CEREMONY AT WESTMINSTER SCHOOL.—
Yesterday being Shrove Tuesday, the usual time-honoured
custom of " towing the pancake took place in Westminster
School. The chi cook of the college was ushered into the
school-room with all honour, attired in kitchen dress, by a
verger of the abbey, about eleven o'clock. The boys were,
of course, engaged in their usual studies when this annual
apparition in the shape of the chef de cuisine entered the
domain of the Rev. C. B. Scott and his assistants. The
cook bore in his hand a farinaceous compound of peculiar
appearance, which populaa ly was supposed to be a pancake,
but looked suspiciously like a very aged crumpet. Poising
the "pancake" on a fork, he cleverly threw it over
a bar which separates the upper from the lower school,
and then withdrew. As he was "tossing the pancake,"
aU the boys rushed to clutch it, and as it fell a struggle
took place for its possession, a glorious game at football,
shinning, bullying, &c., ensuing. This custom isprovided
for in the statute" of the school. The cook receives • fee
for the performance of the duty and if any boy m catch
the pancake and preserve it whole in spite of the attempt.
of the other boys, he is entitled to a guinea from the Dean
of Westminster. Various other customs used to be popular
enough on Shrove Tuesday At Kingston (Surrey), Twick-
enham (Middlesex), and at many *aces in Cumberland,
foitball-plaving in the street was the pastime of the day.
At Hoelesdon (Herta) the curfew bell rang at t n.m., when
all persons were at liberty to make pancake. till the cur-
few rang at 10 p.m. In Fears and Suffolk the cruel prac-
tice of •• thrashing the fat hen" on Shrove Tuesday was
common. At Salisbury the boys went round the neigh-
bourhood singing an old song awl asking for "'brewing."
At Eton school the collegers wrote long collies of verses,
called race-horses, which were hung up on pegs in the col-
lege hall, and which excited the admiration of Samuel
Pepys, as we see from his "Diary."
A NARROW EseAPE.—ln connexion with the
storm of snow, wind, rain, and bail, and the consequent
flooding of the low ground; in several parts of England, on
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday last, the narrow escape of a
number of persons from a very serious accident on the Great
Northern Railvray deserves to be mentioned. The river
Don and all the neighbouring streams overflowed their
banks in the neighbourhood of Doncaster, causing consider-
able devastation and great destruction of property. A
weoden bridge, crossing a stream about • mils on the north
side of Delimiter, over which the Great Northern
Railway passes, wss eo much weakened about its foundation
by the flood that it fell in sometime about midnight. The
express train for the north, which leaves London at 5 p.m.,
passed over the bridge in safety, but • senora down express
tr.un, which leaves the metropolis • few hours later, and
which arrived in Doncaster in due course, was just about
to leave the station at the latter place, at 1.17 a.m. (Sunday
niorning), when a labouring man, who bad, as it were, acci-
dentally seen that the bridge had given way, run up to the
station just in time to give information of the fall, and thus
presented the train starting on • course which could not
have failed to have been followed by the most serious results.
These were thirty-five passingers in the train including the
Lev. E. Henn., vicar of St. Joh s n', Leeds,and fate of Harrow
Weald, who was an intinutte fr.,nd of the late Dr. Italy, with
whom, indeed, he was engaged to dine on the day the doctor
was killed on the railway at Wimbledon, and over whose
body lie read the funeral service at Kensal-green Cemetery
Lot week. The passengers were detained at the Donciater
station for several hours, and the traffic was interrupted
until some time on Monday.
CHARGE or EMBEZZLEMENT.—It hay been dis-
covered that • cootidential clerk recently in the service of
an eminent mercantile firm in the city, who absconded in
September last after embezzling about 12.0001., the money
of his employers, riled on the 10th of December for Port
Natal by the vessel the Lady of the Lake. A warrant for
his apprehension has been issued and placed ha the hands of
Sergeant Spittle, a detective officer. who took a passage in
the screw steamer Celt, which sailed about a week ago for
the Cape. A reward of 1001. has been offered for the ap-
prehension of the delinquent.

At a meeting to-day of the creditors of Messrs.
P. C. Selvago and Co., Greek merchants, a balance-
sheet was presented showing liabilities amounting to
42,0301., and assets to 29,8711. ,of which 26,010/. is due
from the houses at Constantinople, Berdianaki, and
Taganrog. It was resolved that Mr. Selvago shall
go out to these branches, to liquidate the estate,
in connexion with other parties who are interested.
A meeting was also held this afternoon of the
creditors of Mr. S. P. Zizinias, Greek merchant.
His liabilities were stated at 00,0391., and assets at

It is stated that M. Mires has made arrange-
ments for taking up immediately, and prior to their
maturity, 150,000/. of the bills drawn upon him by
the Turkish government. Little doubt is enter-
tained that tue means are thus ensured for pro-
viding the balance of the sum 'required for the
approaching dividend on the Turkish Loan of 1858.
It was obvious from the first that M. 3lires must
strain every nerve with this object, for what would
become of the new Turkish stock which he and his
friends hold were Turkey to keep the holders of
the prior issue waiting for their dividend
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were

The preparations for the settlement in British
railway stocks yesterday showed a diminished supply
of dusting stock. The rates of " continuation '
were consequently lower than at the last settle-
ment, notwithstanding the tightness of the money
market. The following shows the teems generally
current at the commencement of business.
