THE NORRISIAN PRIZE.
The Norrisian Professor has given notice that the sub-
ject for the present year for the English prose essay is—
" The internal evidence afforded by the historical hooks
of the Old Testament that the s -veral writers of them
were inspired by the Holy Ghost."
The essay, with a sealed letter containing the name of
the author, is to be sent, on or before the tenth day pre-
ceding the Sunday in Passion Week, 1849, to ono of the
three stewards of Mr. Norris's Institution, who are, the
Master of Trinity College, the Provost of King's College,
and the Master of Caius CPUPge•
Any opinion advanced in the essay of a candidate for
this prize; contrary (in the estimation of the appointed
judges) to those articles of the Church of England which
relate to our Saviour's divinity at.d• the personality of
the Holy/Spirit, is to disqualify such candidate.

TRH SUICIDE OF VISCOUNT MIDLETON.— GODAI,
MING, TUESDAY.—After our report of the inquest on
the body of this nobleman was sent off on Monday night,
the coroner continued to addre-s the jury upon the
nature of the evidence adduced by the several witnesses.
The jury were then left consoling together for a few
moments, when the foreman announced the following as
the unanimous verdict of himself and brother jurors:—
" We find that the Right Honourable George Allen,
Viscount Midleton, in a certain room in Peper Har-
row Mansion, Peper Harrow Park, in the parish of
Peper Harrow, within the county of Surrey, did
on
Wednesday, the Ist of November, 1848, destroy his own
life, he being at the same time in a state of temporary
insanity."
