OLLOWAY'S PILLS.-Depression of Spirits, Debility.-Some defect in digestion is generally the cause of mental depression. On rectifying disordered stomach, the long list of gloomy thoughts retires, and is succeeded by more hopeful and more happy feelings. Holloway's Pills have been renowned far and wide for effecting desirable change without inconveniencing the morbidly sensitive or delicate organism. They remove all obstructions, regulate all secretions, and correct depraved humours by purifying the blood and invigorating the stomach. Their medicinal virtues reach, relieve, and stimulate every organ and gland in the body, whereby the entire system is renovated. No medicine ever before discovered acts so beneficially upon the blood and circulation as Holloway's celebrated Pills.

"A novel of decided ability; the author sees things straightly and puts them sharply, and he has a quaintness and individuality of style which adds additional force to his satire. Mr. Argol, the financier, is an especially effective piece of portraiture, and entirely succeeds in showing that there are many worse forms of brigandage than Carlo Nerone's crude and simple method of openly plundering his victms, and worse ways of being ruined than being merely driven down the crater of Mount Etna. The subordinate characters are amusing, and altogether the novel may be commended for its brightness, liveliness, and general ability."-Graphic.

HONORARY OXFORD DEGREES CONFERRED
ON NEW ENGLAND CLERGY IN THE EIGH-
TEENTH CENTURY.

(Concluded from p. 4.)

Mr. Vice-Chancellor and Gentlemen,-Whereas it has been represented to me that the Reverend Miles Cooper, Master of Arts, Fellow of Queen's College, intended to proceed regularly to his academical degrees, but being appointed President of the College and President of the Convention of the Clergy in New York, is thereby prevented from attending personally to perform his exercises; and whereas it is humbly requested in his behalf (on account of his great distance from the University, the dignity of his station, and the importance both to learning and religion of the employments in which he is engaged) the degree of Doctor in Civil Law (for which he is of full standing) may be conferred on him by diploma; to this his request I give my consent, and am,

Mr. Vice-Chancellor and Gentlemen,
Your affectionate friend and servant,
LITCHFIELD.

Hill Street, Feb. 19, 1767.
The diploma is dated Feb. 25. For a notice of
Cooper see Allibone's 'Dictionary.'

Mr. Vice-Chancellor and Gentlemen, -It has been representod to me that the Reverend Mather Byles, missionary of the Society for Propagating the Gospel at Christ Church, New England, has been recommended to the University by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, and the Bishops of London, Durham, and Winchester, as a person highly deserving to obtain the

Mr. Vice-Chancellor and Gentlemen,-It has been Minister of Trinity Church in New York, author of an Essay on Infant Baptism, and of the Vindication of the Bishop of Landaff's sermon before the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, is, both on account of his learning and firm attachment to the Church of England, worthy of the honour of being admitted to the degree of M.A. by diploma. I therefore give my consent that it be proposed in Convocation to confer the degree of M.A. by diploma on that gentleI am, &c., ut supra,

Hill Street, May 15, 1770. Scrutinio habito, placuit majori parti Convocationis hisce literis consentire.

It is noticeable that we have here the first sign of a difference of opinion as to the conferring of these honorary degrees, which was probably caused by the growing bitterness of the American political question. There was, we see, an actual vote taken. The Convocation which granted the degrees was held on March 26; but Mr. Samuel Forster, the Registrar, contrary to previous practice, has not inserted in the register any copies of the diplomas themselves. With respect to Byles see Allibone's Dict.' Inglis, created D.D. in 1778 (see post), was afterwards the first bishop of Nova Scotia. A strongly worded address to the king on the rebellion in America, which ended, however, with a prayer that when it had been subdued the royal mercy might be "displayed in the pardon of a people who have forfeited their lives and fortunes to the justice of the state," passed Convocation on Oct. 26, 1775. On July 3, 1776, Mr. Thomas Hutchinson, the Governor of Massachusetts, and Stephen Oliver, Chief Justice of that province, were, in person, created Doctors in Civil Law.

Convocation held Dec. 15, 1777:

Mr. Vice-Chancellor and Gentlemen,-It has been represented to me that the Reverend Charles Inglis,

Rector of New York, has been recommended to the Uni-
versity by the testimony of the Archbishops of Canter-
bury and York, and the Bishops of London and Oxford,
as a person highly deserving to obtain the honour of
D.D. by diploma, and that they are persuaded that the
conferring this honour on the said Charles Inglis would
at this time be serviceable to the cause of Religion, and
peculiarly useful to the Church of England in America.
I therefore give my consent that it be proposed in Con-
vocation to confer the degree of D.D. by diploma on the
above gentleman.

Mr. Vice-Chancellor and Gentlemen, -It has been represented to me that the Rev. Samuel Seabury, Rector of West-Chester in the province of New York, has been recommended to the University by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, and the Bishops of London and Oxford, as a person highly deserving to obtain the honour of the degree of D.D. by diploma, and that they are persuaded that the conferring this honour on the said Samuel Seabury at this time would be serviceable to the cause of Religion, and peculiarly useful to the Church of England in America. I therefore give my consent that it be proposed in Convocation to confer the degree of D.D. by diploma on the above gentleman.

With reference to Seabury, afterwards so well known as the first American bishop, it is worth while to transcribe the diploma at length :

Diploma tenoris sequentis lectum erat, et in decreto Venerabilis Domus communi Universitatis sigillo munitum.

Cancellarius, Magistri, et Scholares Universitatis Oxoniensis, Omnibus ad quos præsentes literæ pervenerint, salutem in Domino sempiternam.

Mr. Vice-Chancellor and Gentlemen,-It having been represented to me that the Rev. Charles Inglis, M.A., Rector of New York, author of an Essay on Infant Baptism, and of the Vindication of the Bishop of Landaff's sermon before the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, is, both on account of his learning and from attachment to the Church of England, worthy of the honour of being admitted to the degree of Doctor in Divinity by diploma, I therefore give my consent that it be proposed in Convocation to confer the degree of D.D. by diploma on the above gentleman.

This was the last honorary degree conferred
before the final separation of the colonies from
the mother country. On May 21 in the same
year the degree of B.A. was allowed to Rev.
Thomas Gwatkin, of Jesus College, who had
been ordained priest by the Bishop of London
in 1767, "and appointed by him to the Pro-
fessorship of Mathematicks and Natural Philo-

Williamsburgh, in the province of Virginia, in
which office he continued from the year 1769 to
1775," but had now returned to the University,
and proposed to proceed regularly to the degree
of M. A.
