Bishop de Blois, in the statutes of foundation of his Hos pital el St. Cross, near Winchester, 1136, directs that of this hundred pose who were to he furnished with a dines? 'm7 day in the hall al, thirteea should b. of the poorer seholan of the great grammar school at Wieolester. This school seatianed to east till the time of William of Wykibam who hen received his education, but it does not appear that it possessed say endowment, or that the sabots:re received scything further than inatrastioc. The - present establishment was founded by the above meationed William of Wykehase, who Grad the me of Winchester 38 years, namely from 1366 to 1404. The parentage of Wykehern is still a matter of doubt, but it is serials le was of humble origin, and was born at or err Wielthum,a small town about 14 mike distance from Win chester. Bthe favour of Nicholas Uvalde, lord of the manse of Waltham, and constable of Winchester Castle, Wykeham was pla ced in the cathedral school, and was arterwerds removed to Oxford. where he remained six years. He thea become secretary to Vegetate ' and was by him em ployed is repairing and altering Ike Castle of Winchester. %Vykikata's knowledge of archieretare (the favourite study of the age) recommeaded boa to the nodes of Edyngton and King Ed card 111. By the latter he was appointed purveyor of the royal castles, and is that rapacity superin tended the alterations and insproventsat elected in thces of Windsor, Dam, and Queenboroagh. Nor did his suttees end here, for the King finding he possessed the neemeary knowledge and ability eppointed hiss successively escretary of eat., keeper of the privy seal, and chancellor. Upon the death of Kdyngton, upon the powerful recom mendation to the prior and monks of the cathedral, Wyke ham succeeded to as high and important station at Iliphop of Winchester. He commenced his episcopacy by , repairing the wit, le of the building', l.y and clerical belonging to his see, the reformation of ieregulasities and abuses and above all by the restoration of the Hospital of St. Cross to the design cf its founder, the revenues of which had been sadly wasted and misapplied. The supply of a well instructed yriestbood for his diocese next engaged his attention, and to that end he subsequently founded and endowed Sr. May's (or New) College, Oxford, and Bt. Mary's College, Winchester, in tending the latter to be • bursary to the former. For this pivots he took the Cathedral Grammar School into his own hands and appointed • muter to manage it. whilst the scholars were lodged and boarded at his expense. In 1387, having oomph ted his college at Oztord, he commenced that of Winchester, which was tom pleoid in lass Vass six years, and on the 34:h of March 1393, John Mors who had been appoiuted Warden made his entrance into the college dilatation in solemn procassioa. —• • - • The society, according to the statutes of foundation, was to consist of a warden, seventy poor scholars to be instructed • ,rammatical learning; ten mauler priests, perpetual fel l. ws ; three priests, chaplains; three elides ' and sixteen is chorters : acrd, for the instruction of the scholars, a school- Rueter end an under sehesohnester. Of the wholan, it was [squired that they should be poor and indigo rat, and that if any of them, besides the founder's kin should come to spiritual or temporal paasessions of the value of IWs. , be should be expelled. The founder also enjoined that the scholars, alive his own kin, should be chosen from the places and parishes in which the spiritual and temporal possessions of the college, and that of New College.ol:ord, exst, to arise first from the dioce-e of Winchester, and afterwards seriatim from the counties of Oxford, perks, Witte, Somerset, Backe, Essex, Middlesex, Dorset, Kent, &use:, and Cambridge, and after those at other pans of the realm of England. What duties were required. of the fellows dues nut appear, but it is highly . improbable thag so energetic a reformer as Wykeham shown intend a fellowship to be the sane sienna, it is at present. On the contrary, we suppose he connected with the office some duties which are not at prey: rat known. It is not probable that the ie flows were eupp , sed to officiate in the chapel in which the chaplains Wtrr_ assistants, for we must remember that the lonia of worship of that day consisted not of the sisupge ritual of the precut established church, hut rites were nu in roue, ceremonies imposing, and processioas frequent. FA' such an eatablisiment in catholic times, the three chap lains only would probably have been found insufficient. No information has yet been given by what nears Wyaeham was enabled to found and 'endow this cul -1 h-ge, his college at Oxford, and to execute the otner great works which distinguish his episcopacy. It is too much to -sewn that he accomplished these things by els personal means, or from his economy, in the management of the revenues of his NO Of of his WE cis as a minister of state. It is far more probable that the endowments of bath of Wykeham's colleges were taken from other religious establishments, which view is strength. ened by the tact, that their revenues arise in great part from the rectorial tithes of parishes which Wykeham might have transferred to these societies as the patron of the several nege floes, leaving for the support of the incumbents the vi. arias or small tithes. Ton view alio receives support from the fact that Wykeham's predecessor, De Blois, in the endowment of his llospital of Ocoee, re duced five rectories in his gift to vicarages, having unharmed the rectorial tithes holm the nested benefices to the supoort of his hospital. Indeed, this was a frequent practice in the middle age, and the founders of religious bous'e were not at all scrupulous in " robbing Peter to pay Paul " From the death of Viyerham, 1401, till the reign of Henry VIII , this warden, fellows, and scholars were al• lowed to pursue the even tenor of their way, unmolested or di quieted by the state. During that period, they received ctuters (rem different kings fur the security and aggrandiae ment of the establishment, and also bulls frem the reigning types, exempting them from the usual restrictions of the canes law, and granting them the privileges of having all the sacraments administered in their own chapel, and of their members being allowed to re ceive ordination from any bishop to whom they might pre. sent themselves. In 15441 the dissolution of the college and the seizure of its proporty formed part of an act of parlia ment which remained in force two years, although it was not c Tried into e ff ect. 1 he death of Henry VIII. in all probs. bility saved it from suppression, for when another act was pseud, for dissolving religions establishments, Winchester C , Ilege was specially exempted with that of Eton and the two universities, but it is said that this favour was purchased at the coat of the sacramental plats of great value. The col lege stab° ' • were sufficiently accommodating in the reli gious changes which .marked this period to escape all iurther notice. It appears, however, that on the accession of Queen Elizabeth, a few who were more stubborn or conscientious than the rest were ejected. In the middle of the 17th century the existence of the college was again in jeopardy, and it is supposed would have fallen but for the interference of these who had received their education with in its walls. From that time to this nothing has occurred worthy of notice, and it has altogether been free from the in ter, oution of the state, save that the committee appointed by the house of Commons, in the year 1817, to inquire into the education of the lower orders, extended their erquiries into the management of this establishment, on which OCCI3hIII avveral of the college authorities rendered very reluctant an ',wen to the questions pat to them by the committee. The committee r, gulled the production of the eta lutes and other documents, but this was attempted to to resisted by the warden and fellows, on the plea that they were forbidden by the statutes to exhibit or make known the contents of the statutes, and that each of them had taken a actlemn oath to observe the some. This was ilable. The committee was inexorable ,• and the required documents, s-altal up, were given in, and the chairman. Yr. (now Lard) Brougham, I:insulted to busk the seed. From a report of this committee, a p ,rtion of the present paper has been ex trotted, as well as from various porticoes of the statutes, which has hitherto been to the public but as a sealed book. —, bat all nesin a bleak or seller gown annually, la which they oval The fen 11111111.1. 41. 11 8 TH=theshl and better.' diner at one, of bed. eiatw had Mud, and a sapper at six of suttee, cheese. did WM * with base at every meal.

Till a few years Man the 'amber of shorlstas was virtually twelve, but the precut warden Hammed them to their origiaal number, sixteen, as mentioned in the statutes of the founder. Ths treatmeat of the cherieters has gnatly varied eines the foes datlea piths oeUege. Eighty years ego they received as Aunties anal to the scholars ; subsequently they were mutilated from the college to the free school of the town, and for mazy years wen ao better than the mere lacqueys of the scholars; but the preen, warden bas restored them, at least in part, to their ancient station, and at the age of 15 they are apprenticed at the *sperm of the °obese, Of the chaplains sad clerks Ruh need not be said. The numbers are the mine as required by the statutes. The chaplains perform nearly the whole of the service of the chapel, and the elute, In addition to chanting toe service sad singing anthems, perform certain menial offices, as wait, ing at table, 6tc. In addition to the head and second tauten provided by the &antes of W_ykeham, there are now several titan or sub preceptors. The necereil of these has arisen from the fact, that the simple requirements of the fourtuath century have Hen extended, and now embrace various departments of science. The salary of the head muter, including allowances, amounts to 1501. a year; in addition to which he is allowed to take gentlemen eommuen, who are in oriented in the school-room of the call's, with the scholan of the establisbinsat. It is customary for each scholar on the foundation to pay the enaa,l sum of ICL, 61. of which I. received by the hsad-master, and 41. by the second master. The 1 (aeon of the college, including fines on renewals, reserved rents, die. , amounts to about 15,0001, and the expenditure to nearly 11,0001., leaving the remainder to be divided between the warden and fellow,. The following is an amount of the college income and ex penditure for on year—namely, Ice Dieember. 1818 to Dumber, 1817, which was produced ,before the above. mentioned 0010111ittell WINCHESTER COLLEGE AS IT IC The establithment of the college remains nearly or quite the same as left by the founder. The corporation consists of the warden and fellows, to whom the entire management is confided. The emoluments of a fellowship, as ended he. lwre the ccmmittee above mentioned, amount to between 4001. and 6001. a year, and the wardenship to double that sum, besides an allowance to the latter to receive the "lectern of N.w College, Osf,rd, and other charges of hospitality ; and mile from reserved rents and from the renewal of leasehold properties. There are alsossall allowances le such fellows &alive within the college. The warden is elected by the warden and Fellows of New College, Oxford, and the Fellows by the Warden and Fellows of Wiachester, a preference being always given according to the directions of the statutes to such as are or have been Fellows of New Callege. The warden has the entire supervision of the establishment, and resides almost constantly in the college. The fellows, with the exception of one who fills the office of bursar, have no duties to perform, and only three of them reside in Win chester. The others seldom pay the college • visit; the only occasions, to fill vacancies and give away livings, and the annual audit in October, when they receive their reapartive shares of the overplaa of the income of the esta blishment. There are fourteen livings in the patronage of the warden a.:(1 fellow', of which the six best are held by as many of the fellows. The scholars, though it be directed by the founder, that with the exception of those of hie kin, they should be poor and intlig, et, are almost without an exception the children of tome whom the world designates gentry. They are al , eted by the warden of New College, the warden of Winchester, two fellows of New College called supervisors or poem and the sub-warden and head master of Winchester College at their annual el , cdon in July, when they till up_ the vecanciis of New Cidlege from this establiahment. The futut..er's kin that is prisons who ran pr ire to the satisfaction of the electors that they are lineally and lawfully di acended from the immediate relations iif the launder have the preference. The number of the founder's kin la the establishment varies from 10 to 12. They each receive the annual sum of 40.. according to the directions of the founder.

The intent of the founder, one would think, was rendered sufficiently manifest by these " That: all and singular to he elected scholars into our college near Winchester be poor and indigent." Words so clear and emphrtic seem to defy misinterpretation or that no second meaning could be attached to them. Such is not the case, the authorities of the college bating adopted • mode of interpretation pe culiar to themselves—a mode which is approved of and sanc tioned by the Bishop of Winchester as ex officio the visitor of the college. In some instances the warden and fellows allow a meaning in strist unison with the manifest spirit and intention of the statutes ; whilst in °tint- instances they confine the 'waning to the literal statement, although in that they grossly depart from that which was inteuded by the founder. This may be seen by reference to the parliamentary report on this establishment, from which is extracted a portion of the evidence of the principal witness examined before the committee, the Rev. Dr. Williams, the present warden el Now C and at that time the second master of Winchester College. . . " flow many boys ars three on the foundation i"—" There are seventy scholars." " What description of persons are they required to be 1" " I know of no distincuon in the st antes but the words pauperes et inaigeutes scholars," (the scholars to be poor and indigent). "It ripper,s by the statute Q oodque omnes at 'legal in idem collegian nostrum props Wintoniam in 'legend: pau pers. et indigents' [that all and singular to be elected into our college near Winchester be poor and indigent]. Is that rule observed ? "—" I do not know how precisely to answer that qug.tion : there are certain statuks which require that, if a boy possess more then a certain sum, the icholarship should tir. declared vacant." " Is that statute to which you allude the 2ith Rubric, ' pistquani aliquis scholaru predietorum, nostril consen guinus eximptis possemicam spiritual.. cal temporaLA annul valorls cerium solidorant pacific. &tiepins (tient et tool a dieto 'metro collego expellatur • [or that if any 4 the aforesaid seh,Aars, our relatives excepted, shall have peacefully ob tainsd spiritual or temporal poseestions of the annual Tittle of a hundrid shillings, that henceforth he be expelled !tom our college J That is to what I allude." " How do 3 ou translate Umlaut *ohdo►rat ?"—" I believe it is translated with refersaim to the changed value of money." " How do you translate it literally ?"—" I conceive the literal meaning to be one hundred shillings." " Row do you translate liberally ?"—" I cannot say, the warden determines that matter; it does not peas under my cognisance. Ido not know, but I believe there is a liberal csn,ruction." " Have you ever heard what the liberal construction is?" "1 belitve 1 have heard, but I am not certain that my an swer will be accurate; I think the soliai are reckoned u marks, but while laity that 1 may be in error." " What do yen estimate the hundred marks at i"—" At 662. 13s. 41." " Are there any boys on the foundation who hava more than five marks a year ?"—" I cannot say." " not the boys, at the age of fifteen, swear that they have not wherewithal to spend above five marks (31.65. fed.) sterling ?"—" I apprehend they do." " Are the boys, in general, upon the foundation gentle men's sons 1"—" Yes, principally they are." " Is there any one of the seventy boys upon the founds ticn, who is himself worth lea than five mark, a year i"— " I do not know that any of them have any property what ever," " Is there a boy there who, from the circumstances of his parents, is not in a situation to spend five maks a year ?" " I apprehend that the statutes refer not to the circumstances of the patents, but to the circumstances of the boys them selves. As to the circumstances of the parents, 1 do not kepis what they can effird." " Da you apprehend that it was the custom in England, in the time of William of Wykeham, for children of 8 ;win old to have fortunes of their own spiritual or temporal, these being the wordsof the statute r-"i am not sufficiently aequaiated with the custom of the country at that time to :Answer the question; but I always considered the limita tion, with regard to the anomie* in the statute, to the boys having in their own right certain pass( nions." " Is that in practice so construed at Winchester ?"—" It is construed to relate to the poesemions of the boys themselves, I believe." " l'auperes et indigentes (poor and indigent), are by the statutes atone to be elected ; would not your construe:ion go to !Plow that the children of all the nobility and landed proprietors in England, M ith very few exceptions, &long to the class paupers et irodigentes." "That inference might follow if were to be conud•red as poor who have not pro perty of their own, or certain reversion when they come of cgc ; bu• I cone( ire it is at the discretion of the electors to &vermin, what boys fall under the description of pouperes et imaigentes." " Do you take that to be the meaning of the words of the statute 1"—" That relates to a question which relates to the spirit of the statutes, which I do not conceive myself comps , tent (Irons my not having a sufficient examination of the spirit of the statutes) to answer ; but I certainly suppose it was not the intention of the founder to take the sons of the nobility and most opulent gentry." Wehave quoted thus freely, as the most unquestionable method of showing by what interpretation it is that the cLildron of the rich are allowed to enjoy the benefits which belong exclusively to the obildrea of the poor. The warden end fellows swear to observe the statutes according to their Oda sense, common understanding, and grammatical and lateral explanation ; and they contend they do, in the elec tion of the children whose parents poems their thou sands end ten thousands, because, forsooth, these children Sue not as yet uncontrolled authority over a certain amount of property, no matter what may be their reasonable ezpect tation, or just tight to fortune hereafter. With respect to other portAtua of the statutes, the warden and fellows have not satrificed the plain sense and common understanding to a 'lure literal interpretation. Thus, the statutes declare that if any scholar came into patentee yearly of one hun dred shilling:, he shall be expelled; yet the warden and fellows have changed the slim mentioned from shillings to marks, because the value of money has undergone a change Gime the days of Wykeham, sad a scholar must therefore possess fa. 13s. 4d. instead of dl., to render him liable to ex pulsion. Again, the statutes declare that twys shall not be admitted after the age of twelve years, but according to Dr. Williams's evidence, boys are admitted after that age. In money payments and allowances (except to the founder's kin, which remains at one shilling weekly) the warden and fellows have wisely deputed from the mere letter of the statutes. _ With the adoption of these practices, with what con sistency can the warden and fellows persist in confining to its mere li•eral expression the meaning of the statute which, above all others, requires to be considered in its plain sems anti unquestionable signification. It is no other then a pen. rsion or the meaning of words to apply the term of poor anti indigent to those whose parents can afford to ex pend from sixty to seventy pounds a year in maintaining_ them iit school . lu short, th e w h o l e matter resolves itself into this—for what purpose did William of Wykshans found and endow this college Was it for the convenience of tho tich or the benefit of the poor?

The Bishop of Win chester may, as visitor, require to give to this statute, in con junction with the app tjeet of the bender a liberal coastruotion, which, without departing from the mirk of the statutes, would extend the benefits of the instituttou to four times the preeent somber of &holm% ASCOT MEETING. WEDNESDAY. Although Oxley's " true and correct list" registered seven events for dechio n, three of which reckoned among their entries several horses of high character or pretensions, this day we., according to precedent, a consparattvely blank Pie as far as attendance was concerned. The excessive brightness of the early part of the morning, which induced false anticipations of a wet afternoon, also militated in a ' measure spinet the attendance, and hence the muster in the greed stand comprised very few more than the visitors in the immediate neighbourhood, and the "regulars " who, having become, from the Spun' experience., "sadder but miser men," did not, as yesterday, enter on speculation with any great gusto. The Coronation Stakes was looked upon pretty generally as • mere "return mttch " between the first and second for the " Thousand Guineas," the 'Newmarket deesion of which was confirmed, in spite of the Ms. extra which it entailed on the Exotic filly. A* the stand the three Wera nearly level, but Clelia eventn4ly wrested the second place from Tiff, who was notoriously amiss. Retail's number was exhibited on the telegraph among the etcetera for the Queen's Plate, and Masson went to mount him, but for some reason which did not transpire he was sent back to Lie staMe.. The prestige of the Concertina colt and Cariboo had the effect of simulating twen•y-five out of the thirty that appeared on the card for the Windsor Stakes. The former wee, how ever, in trouble at the stand, and a beautiful and lengthened struggle between the latter and Thistledown resulted in the first dead heat of the meeting. Thistledown afterwards walked over, and the stake was divided. Mildew—although atroogly fancied in the ring, was like Old Couingwood " no where' for the Hunt Cup, which, se rued, produced a very I lege field of starters. The Receipt Lilly made • shock. ing exareple of l'restige, and a walk over, as on Tuesday, was the wiad up to • c.pital day's racier.
