UNIV ERSITY IN'T'ELLIGENCE.

OXF•RD, AUGUST 22.—The Rev. R. J.Wilberforee,
late fellow of Oriel College, has been presented to the
Vicarage of Burton Agnes, Yorkshire. The removal
of this estimable man from the late field of his labours,
East Farleigh, near Maidstone, has occasioned much
concern to his late flask, who duly appreci_ted the great
advantages they derived from his residence among them,
in having fulfilled in an eminent degree the several duties
of a Christian Minister.

The Venerable Francis Lear, Archdeacon of Sarum,
late fellow of Magdalen College, has been appointed
by the Dean of that Cathedral to the oflicialty of the
peculiar deaconal jurisdiction of Sarum.
The President acd Fellows of St. John's College
have presented the Rev. Thomas Wintle, Senior Fellow
of that Society, to the Prebend or Rectory of Leckford,
Hampshire.

The Lord Bishop of London has instituted the Rev,
C. Berkeley, of Pembroke College, to the Vicarage of
Southminstcr, Essex, on the presentation of the Go-
vernors of the Charter-house.

The Rev. Samuel Wilberforce, of Oriol College,
Archdeacon of Surrey, has been inducted to the vacant
stall in Winchester Cathedral.

The vacant Canonry of Christ Church has been filled
by the Rev. Dr. Faussett, of Magdalen College, Pro-
fessor of Divinity. This appointment is according to
the provision of the Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues
Act, which only became a law just before the promo-
rtion of Parliament, and by which Dr. Faussett vacates
a prebendal stall in Worcester Cathedral. By the
same Act Dr. Lewellin, precentor of St. David's, is to
be created a Dean, and the title of Precentor will now
be extinci.

On Saturday night last, about nine o'clock, the
Second Dragoons at Abergavenny were ordered out, fully
equipped in marching order. The first man was at his
post within five minutes of the first sound of the trumpet.
So much for discipline.
EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUALSTANCE• Last
week, Dr. Hamilton, of this city, extracted a large needle
from a man about forty-five years of age. The patient
from whom it was taken, on applying to the doctor, stated
that he some time previously received a severe fall, and,
from the pain he suffered, he conceived that one of his ribs
had been broken. The doctor, on examining the part,
found it much swelled, and to the touch it appeared as if a
portion of the lower rib had been fractured. The sufferer
anxiously entreated him to open it, but the doctor, fearing
that such an operation might be attended with danger,
refused to comply. He had recourse, however, to
poulticing and other treatment, and in four days afterwards,
on examining it carefully, he discovered the point of a
needle protruding, and succeeded in extracting it without
subjecting tho patient to any violent pain. The needle
does not appear much worn, but is greatly discoloured,
being quite black, it is very smooth, and sharp at the
point, and is supposed to have been swallowed, probably in
food, four or five years ago. The man, on its removal,
felt at once relieved, and is now perfectly recovered. He
had been complaining for eleven weeks before it was ex-
tracted, and latterly was scarcely able to move.—London-
derry Paper.
The march of temperance in London is appa-
rently progressive. There is not a publican who does not
loudly complain of the falling off of business, although all
sorts of attractions in the way of singing and music are
enlisted in the temptations to the enjoyment of the social
cup. The value of licensed victuallers' houses has fallen
off immensely.
The United Presbyterian Synod of Ireland has
addressed the Lord Lieutenant for the interest his Ex-
cellency has taken in procuring such modification of
the rules of the Education Board, as has enabled them
to obtain aid for their schools in strict conformity with
their system and practice; and for the special interest
he has taken in organizing a system of rules for the en-
dowment of their new congregations, which they trust
his Excellency may still farther modify, so as to fully
meet their wishes, and afford unmixed satisfaction. _ In his
reply the Lord Lieutenant says, the changes made have

APPALLING DEATII.--111C neighbourhood of
Carburton, Nottinghamshire, was, in October last, it may
be remembered, thrown into a state of considerable ex-
citement by the discovery of a diabolical system of poisoning
which was supposed to have been carried on by Mrs. Henry
Cutts, the wife of a highly respectable farmer. She was be-
lieved to have caused the death of Mrs. Cutts, her husband's
mother, by administering poison to her; and to have re-
peatedly given small doses of poison to her husband, the
effects of which deprived him of the use of his limbs. It
now appears that the lady who was burnt to death in so
appalling a manner in the house of Miss Sankey, of New
Ferry, Cheshire, the particulsseaetrapnsnaacrmoeafeste odf whichw have already
appeared in our paper, was this same Mrs. Cutts, who had
