In personal appearance DIR. Merle D'Aubgne is as
different from the ordinary Genevase as in his stamp
and scope of mind. This tall heavy-browed man en-
tiers the pulpit with the midty of freshman and in
all his exercises there is much consraint. Although
large he il loosely put together and his earnest read
ing would have been far more telling had he been
firm and collected in his manner. His shaggy brows
constantly remind one Of President Wayland. A little

The Virginians still distress themselves with

Among the many strange customs of the past still
preserved in England is which requires the Sheriff
of the City of Loadon of the understandable on
any day between the Feast of St. Michael the Archan
gel and the Morrow of st. Martin, to go through be-
fore the Queens Remembrance, the ceremony Of
cbopping faggots with bil-hook and ad1e, as suit
and service for piece of land called the Moor, IN
SHROPSHIRE snd the counting of six horse shoes and
sxty-one Das as suit and service for piece of land
called the Forge in the Parish of st. Clement Danes
The service was performed this year on the 3lst Of
October. at the Office of the Queens Remembrance,
upon which the latter declared the service well per-
formed, which terminated the proceedings. Formerly
the ancient ceremony being performed in the Court Of
Excbequer at Westminster created great curiosity, the
Court always being crowded but by act it has
become semi-p,ivate official ceremony.

roots He applied the poison on Monday, after having
cut out the war. The cut being very Deep the poison
communicated with the leading arteries, and he was
destroyed by it.

at Oxford, The PHILADELPHIA Ledger remarks, that
perhaps it is desirable that the Prince Of Wales
should be 70 distinguished in any one department, as
that he should sufficiently know the ropes of the ship
Of State to appear respectable, and take lively inter
est in them all. certain degree Of acquaintance Is
Indispensable both with the routine Of University life
and with the various branches of learning there
taught for one who has TO take the part in life and
conversation among the nobility and gentry which tho
Prince will He has the best instructors and his pres
emf guide Dr. Siddell, is second TO man in the En-
Rsh doninons in Greek literature and learning. But
all this cannot make thorough Greek scholar OF his
royal pupil 1t viii probably result from all this and
from a sufficient number Of the University lectures,
that this young Prince will make bunders, but pass
respectfully through society without much force, OF any
attempt at originality but holding bis own, and always
filing his mitch in English society with ProPrety ane'
respectability.
