EVENING SU

It is Frederick, second son of Sir Robert Peel, who,
as we stated last week, has entered Trinity College, in
this University : he has already obtained high distinc-
tion as a classical scholar at Harrow. His elder brother,
Robert, has entered Christ Church, Oxford, where Sir
Robert Peel himself acquired the eminent honour of a
double first class.

On Thursday, the Rev. Henry Snow, M.A., of St.
John's College, in this University, was instituted by the
Lord Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol to the Vicarage
of Sherborne cum Windrush, in the county of Glou-
cester, vacant by the cession of the Rev. George Dand-
ridge ; patron, the Right Hon. Lord Sherborne.
The Rev. Thomas Cooper Browne, M.A., of Trinity
College, in this University, has been licensed by the
Lord Archbishop of York, to the church recently erected
at Darnall, in the parish of Sheffield, on the nomina-
tion of the Trustees.

THE RECENT SNOW-STORM.
In addition to the. violent anow•storm— a singular
phenomenon at so early a part of-the year—which took
place at the burning down of the Derby Town-hall, the
provincial papers from the country, show its spread and
general effect in the country.
On Tuesday morning, the hills in the neighbourhood
of .Addingham were capped with snow, and on Thursday
a heavy fall of snow covered the ground.-'--Leeds Mercury.
There was a heavy fall of snow last night in the coun-
try, some miles from this city, and the Dublin moun-
tains are covered with snow.—Dublin Evening Post.
The weather during the past week. has been nearly
as .unfavourable as it could be for the farmers, and we
fear that whatever corn is still in the fields, it has been
seriously injured. The glass has- been remarkably low
on some days, and the rain has fallen very frequently
and in largo quantities, while the wind has been un-
usually high and piercing. On Wednesday night espe-
cially, there was quite a storm, attended by 'lightning, in
this neighbourhood ; between six and seven in the even-
ing the rain fell in torrents, which were repeated at
intervals through the night. Thursday was changeable,
and in the morning a considerable fall of snow took
place.—Leeds Mercury.
WINTER.—We have had, during the week, some de-
cided premonitions of the near approach of winter. To
say nothing of the disrobing of the trees by the bluster-
ing winds, the moors in the direction of Bradfield
appeared powdered with snow on Thursday morning ;
and during Wednesday night the frost was sufficiently
intense to form ice, of considerable thickness, in, and
about the town, the fields being at dawn white with
snow.— SheffieliMercury.
• This morning (Friday) the barometer had risen to
nearly 30 (fair) with a white frost, and sharp drying air.
—Norfolk Chronicle of to-day.
Yesterday we had a fall of snow in this town, and the
hills around were covered with it.—ShrewsburyChrenick

SERIOUS Loss.—A man named Denham at-
tended at Union Hall yesterday, for the purpose of
giving information of his having lost the sum of 1601. in
Bank notes a few days ago in the neighbourhood of the
Court. It appeared that the applicant, on going along
the Southwark-bridge-road, dropped a roll of notes,
amounting to the above sum, and which he had received
a sh'ort time previously for the sale of a business in
which he was engaged near the Town-hall. In the
course of a short time after the notes 'were dropped they
were picked up by a lad of weak intellect in the service
of Mr. Frankum, the hatter, of the Southwark-
bridge-road. The boy, on finding the money, and not
knowing the value of the notes, took them to his master's
hwoawrehhoeuhsad eanfoduend xhitbhietm. ed them to
of thetothemwenoraktmweonrk, ,osnaying
see-
ing the notes entreated the finder to " whack" them, and
the hint was no sooner thrown out than the boy began to
distribute the money, giving a 201. note to one, a 101. to
another, and so on, until he only left himself with one
IN. note out of the whole sum. The persons to whom
the money was thus divided desired the boy not to
split" on any account, butsthe circumstance having got
wind, and Mr. Frankum being made acquainted with the
facts, gave information at the station-house in South-

On Friday afternoon, one of the workers of the
Shaves Water Cotton Spinning-Mill entered an unoccu-
pied flat of the building. He discovered s little girl re-
volving with the wheels connected with the works. The
girl was instantly rescued from her perilous situation, and, strange to say that although she is supposed to have
been whirling round for two hours, the only damage she
sustained was a severe fracture of the leg. She was
taken to the infirmary, where, we are glad to hear, she is; doing wane.. GreeitoA ObierVen • -
