When that celebrated Professor BLUMENBACH was
:asked what was his opinion on Craniology, he thus ex-
pressed bialself--$4 There is much in it that is true, and
much that is new; but that which is true is not new,
and that which is new is not true."—Literary Chronicle.
Ozroan, Alien 26.—Saturday last as two children,
named Sorridge and Johnson, about five years, old,
whole parents reside in the Friars, Oxford, were at play
close to the edge of the river, which runs near that
place, one of them unfortunately stumbled ion, the
water, au*** other, it is supposed, in endeavouring
,to prevent his companion from falling. was dragged in
with him. A girl, at a small distance, who witnessed
,the accident, ran for assistance, which, however, arrived
too late, as they both instantly disappeared. The water
has since been dragged, but neither of the botlies have
yet been discovered.
Friday night Mr. Smith, the landlord of dim:Swan,
and Sugar Loaf, in Fetter-lane, having:occasioajo; go
'up stairs, peikeived a dark lantern in his bed room. He
gave an alarm, and some of the city constables hiving
made their appearance, upon examining the room, the
chests of drawers and other places of satetywere found
to have been forced open, and Cash to the amount of
1701. carried off. The thieves had packed up the whole
of the plate, and other valuables, and laid them onithe
bed ready to be carried away,` when they, were dis-
turbed. The robbery was commuted between nine and
dew= o'clock.
