HISTORY.

Minimum—History of England, from the Conquest
to tte accession of Henry VIII, with Blackstone on
Real Property; or from the accession cf Henry VIII.
to that of Qu'en Anne, with Blackstone on Personal
Property and the Rights of Persons. Justinian's Insti-
tutes may be brought up iu lieu of Blackstone.
For Honours—Law, especially the Law of England.
Candidates for the three superior classes must bring
up eitlrr Civil Law or International Law; Adam
Smith on the Wealth of Nations rngy be offend; Mo-
detn History, to the year 1789; hut candidates for
honours must necessarily include in their lists the sub -
j ects required of those who merely seek to pa.A.
The names of those who simply pass will be printed.
and a reference will be male in the lists of honours and
ordinary degrees to the distinctions awarded by the Mo-
derators.
It will be observed that those who enter in Lent or
Act Terms may go up for Responsions iu their third, fifth,
or seventh terms; while those who enter in Michaelmas
or Easter Terms, can go up only in their fourth or sixth
term, at least if they do so within the time prescribed by
the statute.
So, as regards the first public examination, those who
enter in Lent or Act Terms can go up in their eighth,
tenth, or twelfth terms; while those who enter in
Michaelmas or Easter can go up only in their ninth and
eleventh. As to the second public examination, those
who enter in Lent or Act Terms can obtain honour&
later (namely, in their eighteenth term) then those who
enter in Michaelmas or Easter Terms; the litter, how-
ever, can pass their examination t arlier—namely, in
their thirteenth term; but the same number of oppor-
tunities of going up fur honours within the time pre-
aci ibcd by statute will be afforded to all.
It is very desirable that all who enter the University
should he %ell versed in arithmetic.
In a Convocation held yesterday, the nomination to
the office of Public Examiners in the Faculty of Medi-
cine• of Charles Giles Bridle Daubeny, M.D , of Mag-
dalen College, and of William Alexander Greenhill,

attract universal attention.—Erening Paper.
MURDER OF A CIIILD BY ITS MOTHER.—Oa Fri-
day last an inquest was held at Dudley to inquire into the
death of a male infant, a few weeks old, which was mur-
dered by its mother, a married woman, named Elizabeth
Thew, residing in that town. It appeared from the evidence
of several persons that on Wednesday last the accused was
seen wdh her infant, about seven o'clock in the evening,
walking to and fro near the mouth of a pit shaft, which bad
not lately been used. After some time she precipitated the
infant down the lit, and ran away home. She was pursue
and given into custody, and a man having descended th
shaft, which was about a thousand feet deep, discovered th
body of the child, ' with the skull and limbs broken and lif
extinct. The wretched woman confessed the murder, as
said she was forced to do it, as her mother had refused t
have it at her house. The jury returned a verdict of wilfit
murder against the prieotior.
