OBITUARY.

We announce with deep regret the death of the Rev. Dr. Valpy, upwards of fifty years an inhabitant of Reading. He was nearly the whole of that time Head Master of the Grammar School of that place. To deep classical learning he united the most extensive general knowledge; habitually studious, and having enjoyed the advantage of travelling in foreign countries, his tact was very great in communicating classical literature. His powers of conversation were transcendent. As a preacher, his eloquence was fervid and persuasive. He was often called into the service of the public charities with great success; always devoted to genuine Christianity, his piety was sincere, kind, and unostentatious.

from their respective professors, that they have kept the exercises necessary for the degree of Bachelor of Law or Physic.

5. That if the Regius Professor of Hebrew, or the Professor of Arabic, or both of them, shall decline, or be prevented from examining, a deputy or deputies shall be appointed by a Grace of the Senate.

6. That if it shall happen at any time, that two of the offices severally constituting electors are united in the same person, the deputy for the elector in respect of one of the said offices shall be the Lord Almoner's reader in Arabic; but if in any case the Lord Almoner's reader shall decline the office of deputy examiner, or shall be prevented from undertaking the said office, a deputy examiner shall be appointed in his place by a Grace of the Senate.

NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Our opinion as to the evil tendencies of such appointments as are alluded to by "H. M. Laicus" coincides with his own, but to the remedy he prescribes we demur.

We admire the spirit of "A Layman," and would have published his letter had we space,
The same must be our apology to "X." and to numerous other friends.

ERRATA.

Page 193, line 5 from bottom, for "violence," read "violation."
Page 212, line 8 from bottom, for "Sacrament," read “salvation."
