Health of Cardinal Wiseman,

The answer to inquiries to-day in York-place as
to the health of his Eminence, is simply—" There
is no material alteration in the Cardinal's state."

MISS BATEMAN'S INDISPOSITION, we extremely
regret to announce, is such that we fear it may,
for some days to come, preclude her from reappearing upon
the boards of the Adelphi—thereby interrupting (wo
will trust however only for a very brief interval) the repe-
tition, night by night, her exquisite impersonation of Julia in
" The Hunchback."

POLICE CHANGES.—This morning, Mr. Edward
Worlls, who has been for many years an inspector
of the P Division of the Metropolitan Police, was appointed
by the Secretary of State for the Home Department to the
office of Superintendent of the K or Stepney Division,
vacant by the resignation of Mr. Daniel Howie, who re-
tires after 30 years' service in the force, on a pension of
£l7O per annum. For several weeks past the K Division
has been under the charge of Inspector Hayes, a most effi-
cient and valuable officer, and it was expected he would
receive the appointment of Superintendent. The power-
ful influence of Mr. Worlls' friends, however, prevailed.
He enjoys the reputation of being a very intelligent, active
officer, combining all the requisites for the office to'which
he has been appointed. Inspectors Grant, Bradstock,
Beane, and Lovelace were also candidates for the vacant
office. Mr. Howie was formerly Inspector of Police in
attendance on the Queen and Royal Family, and had been
superintendent of the K Division for 13 years. This di-
vision is the largest in the metropolis, extending from
Cannon-street, St. George-in-the-East, to Romford in
Essex.

THE CAMBRIDGE MATHEMATICAL TRIPOS. —Mr. H.
M. Taylor, the third Wrangler of this year at Cam-
bridge, is the son of the Rev. J. Taylor, M.A., Head-mas-
ter of the Free Grammar School of Queen Elizabeth at
Wakefield, where he was wholly educated. Mr. Taylor
has taken the highest degree that appears ever to have been
taken by a scholar from this school. The celebrated Dr.
Richard Bentley, subsequently Master of Trinity College
and a world-renowned critic, who was from the same
school, appearing in the class lists of 1680 as sixth
Wrangler ; Archbishop Potter and Dr. Radcliffe, to whom.
Oxford owes so much, were also from this school, but they
were more distinguished in their subseq
careers, than by their academical and scholastic honours.

THE ROYAL PALACE OF DUNFERMLINE.—The
question of the ownership of the ruins of the an-
cient and historic Palace of Dunfermline was decided in
the First Division of the Court of Session on Tuesday.
Mr. Hunt, of Pittencrief, claimed the ownership, as against
the Crown ; but his claim was declared invalid by an in-
terlocutor pronounced by Lord Mackenzie in December,
1863, which found that " The said Royal palace, or ruins
thereof, belonged to her Majesty and her Royal successors,
and were a part of the patrimony and property of the
Crown." The Judgment of Lord Mackenzie was brought
under the review of the First Division ; and on Tuesday
the Court, written cases having been in November sub-
mitted to it,
gave judgment to the effect of reversing by a
majority the interlocutor of the Lord Ordinary, and de-
claring the title to the ownership of the palace which had
been advanced by Mr. Hunt sufficient. —Scotsman.
PANTHER HUNTING IN AFRICA.—The In pendant
of Constantina publishes a letter from M. Cheret,
known for his exploits against wild beasts in
_Algeria, re-
lating a recent encounter with a panther. He had been
for several nights, in company with an Arab, searching for
a lion, which had carried off a bullock, when, while follow-
ing the military road between do Fer and Bona, he per-
ceived a panther lurking at the bottom of a ravine, and
apparently watching his own movements. Ile immediately
aimed at the animal's head and fired, hut the charge did
not go off. The panther then sprang at him, but M. Cheret
defended himself by striking it with the butt end of his
gun until the Arab, who was near, came up, and firing at the
beast, sent it, severely wounded, rolling back to the bottom
of the ravine. The animal then made off, but the hunters
followed it for some hours, and at length succeeded in get,'
ting within shot and killed it,
