YORK CATHEDRAL.—This noble edifice is now beautified with
a new spire at the south-east angle, in the place of the old one,
which was taken down a few years ago. It is about thirty feet
high, and though the base has not received its attendant enrich-
ments, yet its symmetry and the boldness of workmanship of its
ornaments are, we presume, in no wise inferior to the original.
Great credit is due to the Venerable the Dean and Chapter, for
their liberal spirit and desire to restore the decayed and tottering
parts of their church to their pristine state of strength and beauty.
HEREFORD CATHEDRAL.—This fine edifice has lately been
much improved and restored, chiefly under the direction of the
Very Rev, the Dean. Among other improvements is the re-
storation of a beautiful chapel under the eastern end of the edi-
fice, which has long been hid from public view by the rubbish
suffered to accumulate around it.
DEATH OF THE VICE-CHANCELLOR OF OXFORD.-011 Wed-
nesday, the sth instant, at four o'clock. died, after a severe
illness of three weeks, the Rev. George Rowley, D.D., Master
of University College, and Vice-Chancellor of this University.
He was elected Head of this College in 1821, and took the
degree of D.D. June 15 in the same year. Was appointed Vice-
Chancellor just before Michaelmas Term, 1832, and as the office
is usually held for four years, that period would have expired at
the end of the present week. With the exception of Dr. Richards,
who died in 1803, there has not occurred a death of a Vice-
Chancellor here for uprwads of 50years. Dr. Gilbert, Principal
of Brazennose College, stands next in rotation for this office.
