MR. WADl.—There is now no question but thet
Mr. Ward is about to console himself for the loss of his degrees,
by the acquisition of a far more interesting and tender title—
that of a married man, which, of course, implies a voluntary
resignation of his fellowship at Oxford. The lady of his choice
is said to be young and beautiful, the daughter of a late
head master of Westminster and prebendary of Worcester.
We wish Mr. Ward and his intended all happiness, and only
regret that a consummation so devoutly to be wished did not
take place some months earlier, in which case much of ani-
mosity and no small share of very unpleasant and unprofit-
able excitement would have been spared.— Chronicle.
