the statement previously made by him, and published in

to sail to this port for 29 years past. His vessel was of
995 tons burthen, and he saw no pilots on the night of
the 20th December. though he passed the Skerries at
about half-past five o'clock. It was not till h.
eight o'clock next morning that a pilot boarded him.
Mr. PARRY, of the pilot boat No. 6. produced his log

The meeting, to investigate the conduct of the pilots of

was held at noon, yesterday, at the coMmittee-roon3,
when the following gentlemen were in attendance :—Mr.
John Nelson Wood, chairmen,) Mr. R. W. Houghton,
(deputy chairman,) Mr. Evans, Mr. Jenkins, Mr. Mann,
Mr. Kendall, Mr. Williamson, and Mr. Worrell.
The statements made by the American captains, and
published by us last week, was read in extenso by the
secretary of the committee ; 'and Captain Goodmanson,
commander of the Garrick, was then called in, relative to
the complaint urged by him. He, however, objected to

that room, and contended that all of them ought to be
present during the investigation, instead of being brought
one by one before the committee, in the way it was pro-
posed to do by the chairman.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

OXONIIINSTS, (who does not give us his name,) evidently does
not know the facts of the case, much less the reasons for
them. The questions of precedence and costume are quite
distinct ; but It is true that at Oxford the doctors of civil law
and medicine somewhat absurdly wear the same dress. The
peerage books have nothing to do with the subject; but in
the precedence table of Debrett, divines, lawyers, physicians
are given. All other tables that are sufficiently mintee give
the three faculties in the same order; the graduates in each
taking rank by seniority, and those-of different universities
according to the date of foundation of those universities.
The principle is recognised by statute; the highest Church-
man standing next to the Royal family, and the highest Law
officer, whose appointment is not for life, next to him.
Bishops also are above barons, while judges are below them.
Physicians have no state rank. In the calendars of the
various universities, a distinct order is invariably followed,
viz., D.D., LL.D., M.D., Mus. D., 8.D., M.A., LL.B., M. 8.,
Mus. 8., B.A. The standing required by a doctor of divinity
would alone give precedence to that degree; B.D is a step
beyond M.A., as it includes the latter; LL.B. and M.B. may
be reached without proceeding to M.A., and the latter takes
precedence of them as the highest in its own faculty.
Mus. D. comes last in the order of four, because it does not
presuppose a literary education. Oxoniensis will find several
remarks on this subject in " Dodd's Dignities, Privileges
and Precedence."
C. J.—The announcement respecting the sermons to be
preached for the Curates' Aid Society is an advertisement.
