TO 51ARY.
Look you, Mary, afar, while the storm rages high,
And the wild waves are chaffing the lowering sky,
Where yen sea.bird reposes securely at rest
On the turbulent swell of the dark Ocean's breast,
Angry billows dash o'er him—he rides on their sway—
And but moistens his wing in the shower of their spray.
Wrapt in tempest and gloom like yon terrible Rea,
The brief passage of life has been rugged to me;
Many sorrows are round me—and Elope sheds no ray,
Still—Mary—were thy cold inditrrence away,
I could banish the rest as I gaz'd on thy form,
And repose on my grief—like yon bird on the storm.

Mr. W. Ilankes, M.P. has returned to the University from
a visit at Ketteringham-all,-near Norwich, where be availed
himself of the opportunity of paying his respects to many of
his constituents and other friends resident in that neighbour-
hood. This seems to have given rise to an erroneous state-
ment in some of the public prints, that he had commenced a
general personal canvass in the county of Nortblir.
We understand that although Mr. 11. (loulburn was the
last to canvass the members of the University for the honour
of representing that body in Parliament, his success has been
such as to give his friends every reason to feel confident as to
the result.

The King has been pleased to grant to the Rev. Christopher
Benson, M.A. Fellow of Magdalene College, the place and
dignity of a canon or prebendary of the cathedral church of
Virorcester, void by the resignation of the lion. and Acv. Dr.
Edward Rice.
