OBITUARY.

The day's obituary contains, in addition to that of
Lord Stanley of Alderley, the names of the Dean of
Guernsey and Sir John Pringle. Dr. Guille, Dean
Of Guernsey and Rector of Peter Port, was educated
at Oriel College, Oxford, took a first class in classics,
was ordained in 1817, was Rector of St. Andrew's,
Guernsey, from 1837 to 18.57, and then and until
his death of Peter Port. This living is worth £3OO
a year, and is in the gift of the Lieutenant -Governor.
He was 77 years old at his death. We presume
that some member of his numerous family, of whom
there are three in the Channel ISlandi and one in
Devonshire, will be appointed to the vacant deanery.
Sir John Pringle was a Scotch baronet, was• Vic-
e of Roxburghshire, and was formerly
captain of the 12th Light Dragoons. He was twice
married, and
