PROFESSORSHIP OF NATURAL PHILOSOPH Y,MARISCHAL
COLLEGE, ABERDEEN.—In consequence of the death, on
Sunday last, of ,the Rev. David Gray, a Vacancy has oc-
curred in this chair. The patronage of it belongs to the
Crown. The' emoluments amount to about 3001. per
annum. Term time lasts for only five months r f the
year. Attached to the clas3 is a very fine apparatus.
Since the abolition of the stricter tests the appointment
may be held ')y. an Episcopalian, or by any other Pro-
testant Dissenter from the Eitablished Church of Scot-
land. The professor must be not only an experienced
experimentalist, but familiar with the modern mathe-
matics of the theory of physical science.

The inquiry opened on Tuesday last, before Mr. East:
the Folkestone coroner, respecting the death of three of
the unfortunate sufferers in the wreck of the Josephine
Willis, was resumed yesterday at the Guildhall of that
borough. Mr. Winkworth and Capt. Neagle attended
on behalf of the owners and underwriters. Mr. Towne
for Captain Bourchier ; and Mr. O'Shee for the Limerick
and London Steam Packet Company.
The evidence was almost the same as given at the
Deal inquiry.
The jury, after more than an hour's deliberation, re-
turned the following verdict :—" We come to a unani•
mous conclusion that George Suremers and others came
by their deaths in consequence of a collision between the
ship Josephine Willis and the steamer Mangerton, owing
to an error in judgment on the p►rt of the chief officer
of the ship, mistaking the light of the steamer for Dun•
geness Light, and starboarding the helm. We also agree
that if a proper look out had been kept on hoard of the
steamer, the collision might have been avoided. We.feel
it our duty also to state that there appears to have been a
great want of humanity on the part *f the crew of both
ships, in not sending assistance to the passengers of the
ship whilst they had it in their power to do so ; and we
believe that, if proper efforts had been made, many more "
lives would have been saved."
