men and gentlemen. Sir Travers Twins, Vicar-GenCrai
of the Province of Canterbury, and Mr. Francis hart •
Dyke, the Principal Registrar of the Province, with
Dr. Robertson, the Acting Proctor, took their
seats in the front pew of the opposite aisle, and the
Litany Service was read by the Rev. Marshall Hall *

NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION.

The annual report of the proceedings of this important
association during the year 1863 has been issued. Unfor-
tunately, the council have to regret that in the year
there is an excess of expenditure over income Of
£1,972 Gs. ld., the total income from all sources having been
£20,364 16s. 9d., and the total expenditure £22,337 2s. 10d.
The total expenditure is slightly in excess of 1867, but
the receipts show a decrease of £3,873, owing,
no doubt, to the unusual attractions that were
in the former year, when the Sultan and tha
Belgians drew thousands of visitors to the camp.
The number of members at present is 3,022. It seems
that there were but 1,830 competitors in the first stage
of the Queen's this year, whereas in 1867 there were
2,104, but this is partly compensated by an increase of
120 entries for the St. George's Challenge Vase.
Taking into account all the entries for prizes restricted
to volunteers, we find that there was a decrease of
314, the numbers being, in 1867, 5,755; and last year 5,441.
The total entries of all kinds were 93,411, as against
92,531 of the previous year. In conclusion, the council
state that next year they expect to restore the balance
between outlay and income. At the same time they urge
all those who are interested in the welfare of the Associa-
tion to endeavour to increase its number.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY HONOURS.

- - ~--

The Cambridge University List of Honours for 1869 has
been published. The senior wrangler is Mr. XtIMA Ed-
ward Hartog. He is a native of London, and the son of
Alphonse Hartog, Esq. He received his education at
University College, London, and subsequently at the Uni-
versity of London ; while at University College he highly
distinguished himself in classics, mathematics, natural
philosophy, and modern languages. He gained the Jews'
Commemoration Scholarship, two scholarships in mathe-
matics and natural philosophy, Latin exhibition, and
prize for French and German. At the first
8.A.,
examination he was first in the first class for
proficiency in Latin, French, and German. In 1864 he
was a candidate for the second B.A. examination, and
also for the degree of Bachelor of Science. At that examina-
tion he was placed alone in the first class for mathematics
and natural philosophy, and alone in the first class for
classics. For his classical attainments ho was rewarded
with a University Scholarship of £5O per annum, tenable
for three years ; a scholarship of the same valise, and
tenable for the same length of time, being awarded
to him for mathematics and natural philosophy.
lie has also gained prizes in other branches. Mr. Hartog
is a member of the Jewish persuasion, and consequently
has conscientious scruples about being admitted to his
B.A. degree in the usual form. Some exceptions will be
made in his case. Mr. Hartog will be 2.l years of age
an the 20th of May. Fur the second place three
wran!;lcrs are bracketed. These are Mr. John
Elliot, son of P. Elliot, Esq., of \Villington, Durham,
'. John's Collese ; Mr. Andrew Moir, scholar of
Christ's College; and Mr. Samuel Waymouth, scholar of
Queen's College, a native of Ireland, and a graduate of
the University of Dublin. This gentleman has
gained many prizes. Mr. Richard Thomas Wright,
)f Christ's College, is the fifth wrangler ; Mr. Carpmael,
pf St. John's, the sixth ; Mr. Tock, of Caius, the seventh;
Mr. Godfray, of Emmanuel's, the eighth; and Mr. Barrett,
of Trinity, the ninth.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A FRENCH MALL

STEAMER.

- -0- -

The Transatlantic mail steamer Pereire has just had $
very narrow escape, and had it not been for the coolness
and intrepidity of her captain, she would have shared the
fate of the London. She left Havre on the 15th for New
York with 83 passengers, mails, and 500 tons of men.
chandise. The announcement of her arrival was looked for
as she is one of the fastest boats in the service, and great
was the alarm and anxiety created by the news that she
was putting back to Havre. When she was near the banks
1 Newfoundland she encountered a terrific gale, and on
he 20th an immense wave fell like an avalanche on the deck,
carrying away the fore-cabin on deck, sweeping off the
bulwarks and the two boats, and breaking down the bridge.
The mass of water then rushed down the engine-room,
putting out twenty-four of the thirty-six furnaces, and
thus paralysing three out of the four boilers. As might
be supposed, some lives were lost and many persons
severely injured. One young lady who was sitting reading
in the cabin was killed instantly by the weight of
falling water, two other passengers died from the
injuries received, and two of the ship's company
were washed overboard. Twenty-one others were much
hurt. The captain at once ordered the vessel to lay to,
and kept the engines going with one boiler. He organised
`.he passengers and crew into gangs for pumping out the
water, and, scudding before the wind, brought his
dilapidated vessel safely back to Havre, as the
voyage could not be safely continued with the
foredeck open. The uninjured passengers, mails, and
cargo were transferred to the St. Laurent, and the panels.
gers before quitting the Pereire signed a testimonial to
Captain Duchesne.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Efe,neeforIh no one will doubt the valuable
properties of Du Barry s health-restoring Revalenta Arabica
Invalids' and infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings
it has already received from Invalids whose position had been
deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope,
whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of
unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the "Gazette du
Midi," July 20th :—" Rome, J uly 21,1866. The health of the Holy
Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme-
dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta
Arahica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal.
It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and
his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly." We

the Marchioness de Brehan, of seven years' liver complaint
