THE LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND.—We have
ascertained that the rumour which has been put in circula-
tion to the effect that his Excellency the Earl of Carlisle
will not return to this country as Viceroy is without a
shadow of foundation.—Dublin Express.
MISS BRADDON.—.Recently we announced that
this popular writer was busily engaged upon a
new "sensation" novel, which would appear early in May,
and was rumcured to surpass " Lady Audley's Secret " in
dramatic interest and in strongly developed plot. We aro
now enabled to state that the new work will be called
"Henry Dunbar"—the story of an outcast—and that
editions in the English, French, and German languages
will be published simultaneously. Subscribers to Circu-
lating Librarits aro already on the qui vive for early copies,
LIVERPOOL PUPILS AT CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.
—On Friday last, Mr. Augustus M. Watson, of
Birkenhead (the successful candidate for the Liverpool
Albert scholarship of 1863), and Mr. Llidman (who was
seeond, anti very honourably mentioned in the same com-
petition), were elected to open scholarships of £5O a year at
St. John's College, Cambridge, and with them Mr F. Mar-
shall. Mr Laidrnan was educated under Dr. Howson, nt
the Liverpool College, and Messrs. Marshall and Watson
at the Bi ewood Grammar School, under the Rev. Richard
Wall, formerly cf the Park School, Birkenhead. The other
successfutandidates were from the Shrewsbury, Rugby,
Rosso, tighten, and London University schools. There
were 37 unsuccessful candidates.

HYDROPHOBIA.—John L3shman, a joiner, resid-
ing at 5, Halliourton•etreet, Liverpool, was admitted
into the Southern Hospital on Tuesday morning suffering
from hydrophobia. It appears that he was bitten by a dog
on the 28th November last. The lacerated parts were at
once cut our, and caustic applied. Up to Monday he ap-
peared quite well, but in the afternoon he began to experi-
ence some difficulty in swallowing, and suon after well-
marked symptoms of hydrophobia set in. He grew gra-
dually worse, and died en Wednesday morning, about 36
hours after the symptoms first set in.
