NEW LAW STUDENTSHIPS.

This society has just established some new Law
Studentships of the value of 50/. per annum each,
tenable for two or three years at the pleasure of the
society. Graduates in Arts, and Students of Civil
Law of three years' standing, who have performed the
exercises for the LL.B. dvgree, will be eligible for
appointment, provided they be bona fide prosecuting
the study of the law with the view to practise as
banisters or as advocates in Dactors' Commons. The
first student will be elected after the publication of
the lists of honours in the various Triposes for the
year 1852, and there will be in general one election
in each succeeding year.

A very extraordinary and unprecedented occur-
rence took place on board the Ayrshire, a ship belong.
ing to Mrs. Warren, of Heundsditch, in her homeward
voyage from Calcutta in May last. Shortly after the
dayo Williams.o the
ship had crossed the Line, Captain Browne, the master,
had occasion to pull at a rope passing through a block,
which was badly secured with some rope yarn. Whilst
tugging at the rope the block gave way, and his own im-
petus suddenly carried him over the side. A noble
Newfoundland dog, which was a great favourite on board,
with the genet( us instinct natural to its species, jumped
in to his master's rescue, and seizing him by the collar,
brought him iu safety alongside, when both were hoisted
on board. It was only then that the danger to which
the captain and his brave deliverer had been subjected
became fully evident. A huge shark, which had been
playing for some time about the ship watching for wind-
falls, had marked the captain for its prey, and was
making towards him just as his four-footed deliverer
bounded to his assistance. They did not, however,
escape a'together unscathed, for just as they were get-
ting up the side their voracious assailant bit away half
of the poor dog's tail. The gratitude of the captain for
his double escape will be better felt than described,
effected as it was in so ptovidentisl a manner. The
poor dog, who was of course much caressed, suffered a
good deal from the injury, but was ultimately cured.
THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS —The thermo-
meter at the Royal Humane Society's Receiving-house,
in Hyde park, fell during Monday night to 21 degrees,
11 blow freezing point; but .. t noon yesterday it rose as
high as 36 deg., and at five o'clock in the evening the
mercury was still falling, and at that hour descended to
32 deg., showing every probability of the frost continu-
ing, at the least, for another d-ty. The barometer in
Hyde-park at that time stood at 31 deg. 18 win., with
the wind due north. The various ort•emental waters in
the royal parks were literally covered with skaters slid
sliders during the day. The membsre of the Skating
Club mustered in strong numbers on the Loug-w71,;: yet

terest."

From the Morning Herald.
" This book is written in a truthful and healthitil spirit of morality

CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR,
But although he comes in snow, he still hopes to meet with a warm
reception—but where is he going ? Why, to pay his yearly visit to
the Spirit of John Rich, in the
GHOSTLY CITY OF DEPARTED FUN.
This city is composed of the Tombs of the by-gone Pantomimes—
" Who's dat knocking at der door ?"—Come and see—" J. Andersen's
my Joe, John," and "I am Rich," that's more than every one can,
say ; we wish they could—How to make a Pantomime ?—" that is
the question"—but the answer, it is hoped, will be satisfactory—
Peer Tra-ge-dy meets with no clemency, se we fly by night" to
A SPLENDID HALL IN TDB PALACE OF GOOD
QUEEN BESS.
We now come to Historical Facts, therefore, as the Clown at
Astley's would say, " Let us be serious." It is an historical fact,
that the Earl of Essex loved, or pretended so, Good Queen Bess,
therefore he hated the Earl of Leicester, and thence arose a eonspi-
raey—Sir Walter Raleigh fears his pipe will be put out—Bacon gets
nuitefrizzle, and Lord urielgh shakes his head—but there's
nothing in that, whatever theyß may say to the contrary.
It is an historical fact, that Good Queen Bess was assisted at her
toilet by many of her noblemen, therefore the
GRAND PROCESSION OF THE TOILETTZ
is introduced, in which the Royal Wig ! the Royal Ruff ! ! the
Royal Blushes ! ! and the Royal Petticoat !! ! ! will make their
first appearance on any stage, and trust to the " usual indulgence of
a British Public." These are followed by
GOOD QUEEN BESS
en deshabille, as she is represegted in a picture at Hampton Court.
—What comes next will certainly follow—and then will be seen
GOOD QUEEN BESS
In all her royal splendour.—lt is an Historical Fact, that Good
lueeu Bess, like " Young Susan"—" had lovers so many that she
scarcely knew upon which to decide"—and it is an Historical Fact
that the following were a few of them.
THE REJECTED ONES:
Philip of Spain, Prince Rupert, Prince of Sweden, Duke of Anjoa,
Prince Alengon, Marquis of Winchester, the King of Sweden,
Renry of Navarre, Archduke Charles, Earl of Arundel, Sir William
Pickering, Charles Blount, and the Earl of Arran. Good Queen
Bess appoints a meeting of these " woaderons proper men" at
Kenilworth, bet declares, that on her way, " A hunting she will go"
—and having got on the " High Horse," the story gallops on to
CUMNOR HALL BY MOONLIGUT —Wilson.
" Corning events cast their shadows before "—" Rest thee,
my darling "—Ketchy, ketchy, ket.Aiy—" Put out the light,
and then "—enter the Earl of Leicester on his way to Kenil-
werth—He stops at Love's half-way home, the Robsar Arms—" Oh,
Susanna," or rather " Oh, Amy !"—lt can't be said, " he makes no
bones about it "—They part, " more in sorrow, than in anger," but,
" being gone, Amy is herself again "—that is to say, a rather jealous
young lady, who in her " deep despair," introduces her Lovely
Babby, to whom she sings the following pathetic stanza :
" Come my babby, come along with me
We'll go to far-famed Kenilworth,
Your naughty dad to see."
And so they do.

KENILWORTH CASTLE
As it appeared on the occasion of Good Queen Bess's Royal Visit.
For further particulars inquire of Sir Walter Scott. It is an histori-
cal fact that Good Queen Bess paid the Earl of Leicester a visit, and
" paid the piper." This, his gorgeous fete, half ruined him ; there-
fore we pity his fate, but must admire his wondrous generosity, fir
all he ever hoped for in return was—half-a-crown. The Earl fore-
stalls Shakspere, by discovering " that the course of true live never
did run smooth," for here he meets with some twenty " competi-
teurs," and to him they do come " petit oars," for they prove per-
fect bears, or, more properly speaking, bores. A Lovers' Quarrel
on a grand scale, a sort of " tiff for the million," takes place, which,
although beginning in love, ends in war, and the total destruction of
THE SPANISH ARMADA.
By Warner's Fulminating Blow-up—Tragedy has now done his
worst, and Rich finding that even Rich must become poor if war
continues, proposes a" Peace Congress," and brings all to a close
by making them all change their clothes—
ic;(-6gn:Zin-e,

Alt we have further to say for Good Queen Bess is—Tivat Regina,
and eff' she goes." " Welcome, Old Friends, 'Us long since we
met !" " Here we are !" " How are you?"
