I UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

TO THE RIGHT HON. SAMUEL WILSON,
LORD MAYOR OF LONDON, 1839.
To commemorate an Entertainment given
By his Lordship and the Lady Mayoress,
In the Egyptian Hall, in the Mansion House,
On the sth day of April, 1839.
To his Family,
At which one hundred and eleven members attended.
And in remembrance alike of the splendour
And hospitality of the same, and of the
Great kindness shown by the Lord Mayor
And the Lady Mayoress to their guests."
The covers are surmounted by the family crest (a
wolf rampant), inscribed in a garter in relief, also in
dead and burnished gold. The whole is finished in a
style that reflects great credit upon the artists, and
is, honourable to the donors, as it must be gratifying to
the Alderman and those of his family, who may here-
after be the possessors of them. When exhibited side
by side on a plateau with the public testimonial pre-
sented in June last to Alderman Wilson at the Albion
Tavern, they form an unique and splendid memorial of
the Alderman's indefatigable zeal and exertions for the
promotion of the welfare of his fellow-citizens, and
will be a permanent record of his and Mrs. Wilson's
courtesy and attentions to the numerous guests who
partook of the brilliant hospitalities of the Mansion
House in the year 1839.
The candelabra and cups, without the plateau, weigh
upwards of six hundred and fifty ounces.

ROYAL POLTTgCIINIC INSTITUTION.—This
establishment has lately added another feature to its nume-
rous objects in the shape of an evening exhibition, which
is full of advantages to those prevented by business from
visiting it in the day-time. Bramah's warm water appa-
ratus has been most successfully used in the building, every
room of which is of a most delightful temperature.

SOMNAMEULISNI.—At the cavalry barracks at-
tached to the Ecole Militaire at Paris the greater part of
the 10th Regiment of Chasseurs was suddenly woke one
night last week by shouts of "II est mort 1" It was pre-
sently ascertained that a young lancer had thrown himself
out of the first-floor window of the Ecole Militaire. His
name was Charrier ; he entered the service in 1836, was
always well conducted, and no reasonable motive could be
ascribed for the commission of the act, which, proving fatal
immediately after it was committed, no explanation could
be got from the unfortunate young soldier himself. He
was separated for a few days from his regiment, which is
stationed at Versailles, having been brought up to Paris to
give his testimony as a witness. The occurrence was sub-
scquently explained by his regimental comrade stating the
fact that he was addicted to somnambulism, and the circum-
stances were as follow :--During the course of the day he
had gone out, in company with a dragoon, to take a stroll
through the streets of Paris. It had been his intention to
visit his sister, a bonne d'enfans ; but they had loitered so
long elsewhere that this they had found impossible ; and
the military hour of couvrefeu (curfew) arriving, they were
forced to return to barracks. But Charrier, being uneasy in
mind, and dreaming probably of going to his sister's, rose
during the night. Those who slept in the same room ob-
served that he made his bed very carefully, put on his or-
derly jacket and his sabre, made a turn through the room,
and then proceeded to open a window, which looked out
on one of the courts of the military school. A sergeant of
chasseurs, whose bed was near this window, awakened by
the cold, reproached the young lancer somewhat vehe-
mently for opening the window at such a time and in such
dreary weather. Whilst the sergeant was addressing him,
Charrier put his leg through the window, muttered a few
words, and flung himself on the pavement before th
he other
could make the least movement to prevent him. Te
poor young soldier had been awoke by the voice of the
sergeant, and in his first movement of surprise mistook the
window for his bed, and killed himself.
