UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

CAMBRIDGE, MAX 2.s.—The Rev. Edward Tore-
son Bidwell, M.A. one of the senior Fellows of
Clare Nall, has been presented by the Master and
Fellows of that Society, to the rectory of Orches-
ton St. Mary, in Wiltshire, vacant by the death of
the Rev. Henry Hale.
The Rev. Henry Roberts, B.A. of Trinity Col-
lege, has been instituted, by the Bishop of Lichfield
and Coventry, to the rectory of Baxterley, near
Atherstone, void by the death of the Rev. C. G.
Okeover.

The annual meeting of the Bank of Buenos
Ayres took place in February, and a dividend of
13 per cent. on its capital was announced. That
establishment appears to be in a pro3perous con-
dition, but has set aside a large reserve fund to
meet unforeseen losses. The amount of its
notes in circulation is declared to be 8,600,000
dollars (less than 2,000,0001. sterling), but in
that sum is included the amount furnished to
the branch banks at St. Juan, Salta, and Tucu-
man, as well as the agents for Entre-Rios and
the Banda Oriental.

Mr. SHEIL.—Mr. Doherty's appointment to
the Solicitor-Generalship, is an appointment of
no small importance to Mr. Sheil, for it leaves
him exclusively the stating of cases on the
Leinster Circuit, and by that means augments
his professional income by at least one thousand
pounds per annum.—Dublin Morn. Register.

SECRETARY FOR IRELAND.—The warrant
appointing the Hon. Wm. Lamb to the situation
of Chief Secretary for Ireland has come over,
but the Hon. Gentleman himself is not expected
before the 20th of June, as the duty of moving
the Irish Estimates now devolves on him.—
Dublin Evening Post.
The fine rains of last week having been suc-
ceeded by warm weather, vegetation has pro-
ceeded with astonishing rapidity. The wheat
plants have acquired strength, and look altoge-
ther luxuriantly and kindly; the spring corn is
growing rapidly and vigorously, and gives equal
promise, whilst the meadows and pastures furnish
a truly gratifying contrast to their appearance
last season, and exhibit already the assurance to
the farmer that he has not this year to fear the
recurrence of those evils and difficulties which
their scanty produce of the last year occasioned
him.—We are sorry to understand that blight on
the apple-trees is general.— Worcester Journal.

SPREAD OF THE REFORMATION.—During
the tour of the Right Rev. Dr. M'Goveran,
Catholic Bishop of Ardagh, through his diocese,
in the last month, his Lordship confirmed 16
Protestants, who had conformed to the Catholic
Church. Three of them received the Sacrament
of Confirmation in Longford, and their conver-
sion to the ancient faith is to be numbered
amongst the fruits of the admirable conversial
sermons preached in that town, some time since,
by the Rev. Mr. Slevan.—Dublin Morning
Register.

Friday night the Counting-house belonging
to the Northgate-street Brewery was broken into
by some thieves (notwithstanding a watchman
was on the spot), who entered the premises from
the Packhorse Yard. The whole of the desks
were forced and their contents examined, and
about four pounds in money taken away. On
the wall was chalked in a good hand—" Time
is short, watch close."—Bath Chronicle.
Two young women, named Mil/ and Nan-
carroty, have been committed to Bodmin gaol,
on a charge of murdering an infant, of which
Mill had been recently delivered, near Redriith.
Mary Jewell, a married woman, and sister of
Mill, was at the same time committed for steal-
ing a washing tray. These three women admit
that they were in the habit of robbing different
shops, by acting in concert, one pretending to
purchase something whilst the others secured
what they could. A great quantity of goods
of different descriptions were found at their
houses.—Plymouth Journal.

A lamentable accident occurred at Bingham,
on Thursday afternoon the 17th inst. Mrs.
Widowson, widow of Mr. James Widowson,
late of that town, joiner, who was very infirm,
and lived in an upper apartment, was burnt to
death. It appeared upon the inquest, held the
following day, that one of her grandsons going
into her room, found the old lady lying on her
face upon the floor, quite dead, and it was con-
jectured that her clothes were ignited by the
embers of a pipe (which had been given to her
about half an hour before) falling upon her lap,
and causing the catastrophe. In this opinion
the coroner (Mr. Falkner) and tbk. jurors coin-
cided. She was 78 years of age, and her body
presented a most appalling spectacle, it being,
with the exception of the lower extremities, literally
roasted.—Stanford Mercury.
