THE EWELME APPOINTMENT. Pall Mall Gamite.) Very few members cared to listen to the dis cussion of the Ewame appointment in the House of Commons, because there is really no difference of opinion about it; it bos been long ago disposed of as a wrong appointment, made in opposition to the frosnfig of the hw. If anything were necessary to establish the juten- tion of the Aol in spate, we might cite 'scue!

the passages from Mr. Bouverie's speech, bill as it was introduced into the House of Lords there was no restriction about the Uzi.. veraity of Oxford, but there was a proviso that no person should be presented to the rectory of Ewulme who was not eligible for appointmout to the Regius Professorabip of Divinity And, as 3r. Bouveris remarkod, if that proviso badl Feriaived in the Ach, it would have been per

seat whomsoever he chose to the rootory. Bas this proviso was struck out; and words were" inserted providing that whoever we prestuted ebuuttil he a member of Convention of the University. Mr. Boaverie aspertained the his tory of this change; and asya

THE ARIADNE” TRAGEDT. (Daily News) A.more distrossing narrative than that of the accident which befel the boats of H.M.S Arige, off the cost of Portugal; baxseldom darkened our naval annale. There is something extreme- Jy pitiable in the spcencie of galiot men go- ing down at wes, within view of companioNU A who, despite their efforte, are puable to rep der the least assistance. It is bad enough when a solitary Asamen is swept overboard during the sight, and doomed to perish by a paiafi daith; but here, in open daylight, before the eyes of a whole ship's company, ten hare fellows, who had reutated their own lives to renone that of one of their comrades, met with that death-whieb had already overtaken the wan they had hoped to save. Brist and se cinct as is the report uraished by Captaim Carpenter to the Secretary to the Admiralty, there are few who read it who will not be stirred with the thought of what fins stuff our seamen are made of; and they will join with him in aging that the bright side of this sad story is dereloped in the promptness, coal nese, und daring which the what trip's "com pray showed under these disastrous circnally competent for the Prime Minister to pre. stances. The scansion certainly served to test the nerve and courage of the crew. The ship waa runing before thegue, going twelve kuota an hour, and rolling heavily. Fart of, the rig. ging bed given way; and one of the sailers engaged in repairing the damage fell frein the Daintopminal crosstress. As the ahip was 201 ling before long and beavy well at the tinie, instead of falling on lock he was thrown into the sea, from a height wblab one arrator es-ed from the Govorataent in reference to the timates at over 200 feet: He fell on his back; bnt, giring to say, the fill did not stan him completely, and be was need to strike cot who roce to the surface. Life buoys were to introduce into the bill a provision that immediately thrown to bin, and the ship have te. The accoud cutter of the triadne was Jerod in safety, sad those on deak san her depart from the ship in good order, although it is probable that the way on the ship had carried her out of sight of the men, suppesing him to have been stili afloat. Under direction of two sab-lientensots, Mr. Talbot and 3r. Jukee, the gutter was pulto rapidly to the spot at which the man was likely to baro fallen, and eventually was last sight of. All this occurred shortly after 7 o'clock. At 8 o'clock the cap tain, finding the abip was drifting fast, and the wind increasing to heavy squalls, had the sorew lowered and the saile furled, and prosceded to team to windward, in the direction taken by the onlter. The "real" was boiated; for it was clear time if the missing man-bnd not boen recovered by this time, there was but little hope of ever seeing him again. It was nearly ten o'clock when those arrangements were com pleted; and the cutter was perceived to be pulling towards the ship.

I find that the Lord Obancellor did not nisice the change paprio mota; but as the result of consultation with certain gentlemen who difer matter. I know, on the best anthority, that the Chancelier of the University of Utford the Marquis of Salisbury) intended, if possible,

the patronago be limited to man who bad been trained in the University-man why wers, in fact, Oxford men. The Lord Uhan- color was, I imagine, aware of that intertipu, and proposed the alteration in order to meet the views of the Obancellor of the University. At any rate, I am authorized to state that the insertion of the amendment was only assented to by the Mugnis of Salisbury on the vader etanding that it would have the eos of limit ting the obcisa for presentation to Oxford mas."
