The King has been pleased to order a congé d'élire to the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral Church of Ripon, empowering them to elect a Bishop of that see; and his Majesty has also been pleased to recommend to the said Dean and Chapter the Rev. Charles Thomas Longley, D.D., to be by them elected Bishop of the said see. Died, on Wednesday, 5th ult. at the Lodgings of University College, after a short but severe illness, the Rev. George Rowley, D.D. Master of that Society, and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford. Dr. Rowley was educated at Abingdon School, under the late Dr. Lempriere, and entered as a Member of University College, November 1, 1799, being then 17. Having received the highest honours at the public examination in the Easter Term preceding, he took the degree of B.A. June 21, 1803; became M.A. May 8, 1806 was elected to a Fellowship of University, February 13, 1807; appointed Tutor of that College in the course of the next year, and nominated Public Examiner in 1810. Upon the death of Dr.Griffith, in 1821, he was unanimously chosen to succeed him in the Mastership of University, to which he was elected on the 1st of June in that year; and immediately after he proceeded B.D. (June 9) and D.D. (June 15, 1821). In October, 1832, Dr.Rowley, who had previously, for some years, acted as a Pro-Vice-Chancellor, was nominated by the late Lord Grenville, Vice-Chancellor of the University: and it is remarkable that, having filled that distinguished post for the usual period, he was on the very eve of resigning office, when he was seized with the fatal malady which has, in a few short weeks, terminated his valuable life. During the Vice-Chancellorship of Dr.Rowley, independent of several very important academical occurrences, three of a peculiarly interesting nature have occurred,-the visit of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, the election and installation of the Duke of Wellington as Chancellor of the University, and the royal visit of her Majesty to Oxford. In his official duties he was noted for his punctuality and decision: nor was he more remarkable for his firmness of character, and a straightforward and fearless determination to perform, in all cases, what he deemed his duty, than for a kindness of disposition, and a constant readiness to consult the wishes and convenience of all who were officially connected with him. There no person throughout the University, whatever be his grade, who does not respect his memory, and lament his loss.-On Monday, October 10, his remains were interred in the chapel of University College. In conformity with the wishes expressed by the deceased, the funeral was strictly private, being attended only by his relatives and the members of the College. Appointment.

In consequence of the death of the ViceChancellor (Dr. Rowley) it became necessary to install some other Head of a House in that distinguished office. Accordingly, a Convocation has been held, when (the occasion of the meeting having been formally announced) the following letter from the Duke of Wellington, as Chancellor, was read: "To the Rev. the Senior Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford. To be communicated to the Heads of Houses, and proposed in Convocation. "Mr. Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Gentlemen, "The lamented death of our late friend, the Rev. Dr. Rowley, making it necessary that I should nominate another Vice-Chancellor, I do hereby nominate and appoint the Rev. Ashurst Turner Gilbert, D.D., Principal of Brazennose College, to be my Vice-Chancellor for the ensuing year. Therefore, wishing you all happiness and prosperity under his good government, I remain, Mr. Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Gentlemen, your affectionate friend and “WELLINGTON. servant, "The Grange, near Winchester, "Oct. 6, 1836." This nomination having been unanimously approved, the Senior Pro-ViceChancellor present, the Rector of Exeter, after a brief but very apposite and affecting eulogium on the merits of the late chief officer of the University, placed the books, keys, &c. (the insignia of office) in the hands of the Senior Proctor; and the Vice-Chancellor elect, having first subscribed the declaration enjoined in lieu of the sacramental test, and taken the accustomed oaths, received the same, and immediately proceeded to the official seat. The new Vice-Chancellor then addressed the Convocation in a very eloquent and manly oration. In the first place, alluding to the especial difficulties and dangers of the present times as regarded the University, Dr. Gilbert expressed his determination, impartially and fearlessly, to do his duty, not doubting but that the cooperation and assistance of the members of Convocation would be readily afforded him, and that a favourable construction would, at all times, be put upon his acts and intentions. The indulgence of the University was, he remarked, more peculiarly due to him on the present occasion, since the loss recently sustained by the whole body in the death of his highly-valued predecessor was to himself, individually, of a still more trying nature; for he had looked forward to the kindness and experience of Dr. Rowley for that assistance, advice, and cooperation which the late Vice-Chancellor's attention to business, his firmness, his discretion, and, above all, his high principle and strict integrity of purpose, would have rendered invaluable to one succeeding to the important post he was himself now called upon to occupy. The Vice-Chancellor concluded his short but very impressive address, by an earnest hope and prayer that the University might, by the blessing of Providence, triumph over the machination of her enemies, open and concealed, and finally be preserved and continued as a means of keeping up true religion, promoting virtue, and extending the benefits of sound and useful learning through the British empire. Having nominated the following Heads of Houses Pro-ViceChancellors-viz. the Rev. Dr. Jenkins, Master of Balliol; the Rev. Dr. Jones, Rector of Exeter; the Rev. Dr. Bridges, CAMBRIDGE.
