of history, ancient and modem, was some days ago
awarded by the examineis to Mr. John Henry Bridges,
Fellow of Oriel College. -
The living of South Stoke, near Arundel, in the diocaf.e
of Chichester, is now at the deposal of the University,
in consequence of the legal incapacity to present of the
patron, who is a Roman Catholic. The Rev. Richmond
Powell, M.A., of Trinity College, Cambridge, has soli-
cited the votes of members of Convocation, on the special
ground that " only the sudden death of the late Duke
of Norfolk prevented his legal appointment to the pre-
ferment." The Rev. G. Fereinao, M.A:, Chaplain of
All Souls College, and late Junior Proctor, who bad
'also been spoken of as a candidate, has announced his
unwillingness to contest the el,ction with a person pos-
sessing the claims of Mr. Powell. Mr. Powell is, we
believe, Vicar of Bury, near Arundel, a living of the
annual value of 1001.
A statute, containing a new scheme of regulations for
