HENRY TORRENS, Adjutant GeneiaL
It is with nnfeigovd regret that we this week record
the decease of the venerable Archdeacon Owns, who,
on Friday last, appeared to be in his accustomed state
or, good health, but who (such is the uncertainty of this
sublunary state !) departed this life early on Sunday
mooing. Archdeacon Owes was Prebendary of SA. I
"Me Vicar of Pompton, Oxfordshire, and minister of
134•Pdary's, in this town; and was known to the literary
',wad generally as an antiquarian of the first order. He
was the lineal male representative of an ancient British
family of high rank ; and was eminentlyflersed in the
historic lele of past ages. As a preacher he was much
and justly admired; and to his family, his friends, and
the public, his decease has occasionecLa chasm that can
never be adequately supplied.—Salopiam Journal.

appears, in this instance, to bare been judiciously exer-
cised ; as while there seemed from the examination of
the witnes,es, as far as it has hitherto proceeded, not
sufficient grounds to commit the prisOner fully, stilt there
does appear some cause of suspicion, which, for the
prisoner's sake, it were well, in the present highly ex.
-cited stated of the public mind, to have removed by the
decision of a Jury of his country.
It is doubted wbsther the prisoner will be able to
make out the required security ; but as the time of trial
approaches so nearly, only a temporary
,deprivation of
liberty will be experienced by him. The city of Oxford
enjoys a privilege possessed by no other city within the
British dominions, with the exception, perhaps, of Bris-
