Alexander Hunter was playing with a companion n _
one of the pits near Berkely Fields, when he approached
the edge of the pit, and his foot slipping, he fell

in. The other-lad extended his hand, whiCh the child
grasped, and, in his efforts to get out, pulled him into the
water, also. The latter, however, contrived to get out
again, and called lustily for assistance. Thomas Plunkett,
a brickmaker, ran to the pit, and, after much exertion,
succeeded in bringing the body up, but not before life was
extinct. The child's parents reside in Dover-street.

school :—On the 30th June, A. Hunt was elected to the
Lancashire Scholarship of Corpus Christi College, Ox-
ford ; he was first in the examination, and the competition
was open to the whole of Lancashire. This scholarship is
very valuable, not only in itself, but as leading directly to
a fellowship. The late Dr. Arnold began his career by
getting a scholarship of Corpus. A. Hunt obtained the
Canning University exhibition at the Collegiate Schools
only a fortnight before his success at Oxford.—On the
14th June, Andrew Wilson, who was sent up from the
Collegiate Schools, last year, as the master's university
