.HARRY LORREQUER'S NEW WoßK.—The ad-
mirer's of Mr. Lever's productions will be glad to hear
that a cheap edition of " Arthur O'Leary" has just been
published, printed uniformly with the author's other
works, in one volume Bvo., price only 12s. bound, and
containing all the illustrations by George Cruikshank.
" A work from the graphic pen of Harry Lorrequer,
illustrated by George Cruikshank (observes the John
Bull) carries with it such a rec -immendation as may
almost defy criticism. And, truth to say, we hardly
know how to convey an adequate notion of the exuberant
whim and drollery by which these volumes are charac-
terised. They are a perpetual feast of gaiety. Adven-
ture succeeds to adventure, scene to scene, character to
character, and in all so much variety, so much genuine
humour, that every taste must find something wherewith
to be pleased. Mr. Lever's style is admirably adapted,
from its dashing character, to delineate such scenes as he
has chosen for his hero."

We have every reason to believe, from information
received from Oxford, that in deference to the opinion
of a large number of the members of Convocation who
have expressed their dissent from the proposed altera-
tions, the intended additions to the Statute, title xvii.,
sect. 3, "De Auctoritate et Officio VicJ-Cancellarii,"
will he withdrawn ; and so form no part of the acade-
mical business to be considered and determined on upon
the 13th of February.
ROBBERY FROM A. CAD AT THE TERMINUS OF TSUI
LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAlLWAY.—Yesterday morn-
ing, between twelve and one o'clock, the following articles
were stolen from the cab No. 1,190, at the terminus of
the London and Birmingham Railway, viz.:-21 tea-
spoons, 10 large table-spoons, 4 sauce ladles, 1 fish knife,
18 silver forks, 1 large fork, and one wine strainer, all
silver. It appeared that the cab was engaged by the
steward of the ship. Blond, lately arrived from Calcutta,
to convey him to the railway station. On arriving at
the station he had some altercation with the cabman as
to the fare, and after removing some valuable property-
from the cab, he paid the fare ; and immediately after-
wards he recollected that he had left a bundle, containing
the above-mentioned articles, in the cab, but on return-
ing to the spot the cab was gone. In the course of the
morning he met the cabman, and gave him into custody.
He denied all knowledge of the robbery, stating that he
left the cab in the care of ayoung man while he went with
the steward, Maynard, to got change for a sovereign,
and that soon after he took up a lady, and drove for some
distance.

On Thursday Mr. Higgs held at inquest, at th. St.
George's Hospital, on the body of John Henry Gibson,
aged 23, late a patient in this hospital, and of No. 14,
Earl-street, Kensington. Mary Gibson, a night nurse,
said deceased was admitted into the York ward on the
15th instant, and she saw him safe at half past eleven
on Friday night, when at his request she changed his
linen. He then took her band and kissed it, saying.
" God bless you, I hope you will never be afflicted as I
am." She went into the King's ward, and in ten minutes
a patient in the York ward called her to deceased, whom
she found in bed with his throat cut, and an open razor
lying on the counterpane of his bed. Several medical
gentlemen were immediately in attendance. Mr. Potter,
house-surgeon, described the treatment pursued after
the self-infliction of the injury. Diarrhoea, his Drigipel
complaint, from ulceration of the bowels, in conjunction
with the effects of the wound, carried him off on Satur-
day afternoon. Whilst sensible, witness asked him why
he had cut his throat ? and he wrote upon a slate, " I
gave you all so much trouble, that I wished to put an end
to myself." If he had been a healthy man, ho might have
recovered from the effects of the wound. Verdict—
" Died from natural caches."
Mr. Wilson, the late cashier of the Norwich
Board of Guardians, has been committed for trial on the
charge of embezzling the money and mutilating the cash
books. It was stated that the embezzlements amounted
to I,s2sl.—Chelnuiford Chronicle.
