The dinner was given in the Banquetting Room, and the preparations were on as splendid a scale as at the last party. The dinner table was ornamented with a number of magnificent centre pieces, four of them designed by Mantuan . , representing Venus rising from the sea. having figures of Neptune, Amphi tryon, and Tritons executed in full relief at the sides • one In the middle of the table Was surniounted with the figure of a Centaur carrying off Dejanira. The sideboard of gold plate occupying the entire width of one end of the room, contained the same unnvalled collection of plate as on the former occasion, with the addition of a few other pieces, and a profusion of tankards and cops from his Majesty's collec tion, -everal of them having representations of different subjects exquisitely sculptured in ivory. In the middle was a large dish of in oblong form, curiously wrought into imitation of birds, beasts, and flowers, supposed to be the work of the ancient Peruvians. On one side of this dish, corresponding with an Egyptian temple, ' was a temple supported by marine horses ' the top of the temple forniing a basin, with a superb canopy. Close to this temple was a tankard, with a Bacchanalian group, in bold relief, the figure of Pan forming the handle. The subject of the corresponding tankard .was the relief of Vienna. by John Sobieski. The effect of this splendid display was heightened, on the pre sort occasion, by darkening the windows of the room, and thus excluding the day-light. which made the room appear to greater advantage.

Good fustian. are more r• might after; those of an inferior sort are scarcely to be disposed of at any price. Prints and strong goods generally are more looked latter by the German buyers.

Common calicos are not much wanted. For yams, for the home trade, there is not much business; in the shipping line a little more is doing than of late,though not to an extent either to diminish stocks or advance prices.

Among the various amusements prevalent at this season of the year was the assent of Mr. George Green in his bal loon, which took place yesterday from the gardens of the Jamaica Tavern, at Rothethitbe. The belong was inflated early in the afternoon of Tuesday, when a great member of peraens were admitted into the gardens, many of wheat were indulged with a partial ascension, to the extent of abqut 200 fete, the machine being prevented ascending further by ropes. Yesterday the gardens were thrown open at one o'clock, and trans that time until seven o'clock great numbers of respectable persons thronged to the place; at the latter hour not less than a thousand peneas were present. The berms of the day, added to the attractiveness of an excellent band of music, tended greatly to .1111.410 the acme. The balloon was nearly new, composed of about 1100 yards of silk, and was supplied copiously with gas by the Plicanix G.ls Com pany. It was expected that a Lady and Gentleman would accom pany Mr. Green to his aerial excursion ; in this he was disappointed, bet a Ginutrisan. named Wesreott, who happened to be in the gardens, cemeleded terms with Mr. Green, and eventually accom panied bum For about aft hour previous to Mr. Green and his companion starting, a greet number of Ladies and Gentlemen were indulged, for ss. each, with an ascent to the length of the ropes. About moon o'clock the intrepid aeronaut• got into the car, and the ropes being loosened, they ascended in•the most majestic style amid the deafening cheers if the multitude, both within the gar. dens, and in t►e neighbourhood on the tops of houses, /cc. which were crowded with persons. They took a southwest direct' , " and were risible for at least half an hour, the wind having con siderably 'maenad. The Dean of Westminster is the new Bishop of Oxford.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ELECTION. This Electiun excites each day more interest: The pretext of the Whigs that Mr. CAVENDISH is sup-. ported on personal grounds only. is expoied, by his party having already rejected a Senior Wrangler and Senior Medallist in Mr. ALDERSON. We admit that Mr. CAVENDISH acquitted himself creditably at College, though he failed in obtaining either of those honours. But let it be remembered that the Repibsentation of the Unives sit; is not an object of petsonal ambition with his Noble Family ; they have reluctantly and tardily assented that the experiment should be tried in his person, how far Whig politics are palateable to the Members of the Senate. We know the ulterior object of the party who have put him in nomination ; their chance of forming an exclusive Whig Administration depends on the success of the experi ment, and they are making every effort to obtain it. We trust the Tories will be united in opposing this attempt; but the result of this Election will principally depend on the conduct of the resident Clergy. We warn this vir,uous and independent class not to be be trayed into indifference. These are not ordinary times 7 .-" coming events cast their shadows before," and woe, be to the Church if the result of this Election creates an impression throughout the county that Whig prin cipies' have gained an ascend4ncy in the University. We implore, therefore. the real friends of our eccle siastical civil establishments not to allow any difference' of opinion arising out of recent measures to paralyze their efforts at this crisis. It is no longer a question of choice between individuals, but of principles. The University may have a Representative in Mr. BA NICKS of ancient family and staunch politics, one Who has shown that in ttie'hour oftrial he will prefer principle to every other consideration; and now that the legal de fences of the Church have been removed, it is =me than ever necessary to place such tried champions in a station which, as it will make it their peculiar duty, so it may Rive them the power as well as the inclination to up hold her. Mr. BANKS!' must succeed, if the Tories and blends of the Church aie only true to themselves; but it disunion or indifference prevail, the result will be—and that; too, at no distant time—i subject of regret to all, of remorse to many. CAMBRIDGE fOWN ELECTION, Jim' 9. The worthy Mayor, the returning officer for this bo rough, took his place in the Town Hall at ten o'clock, attended by Mr. Sergeant Storks as his assessor. Col. Trench, with his f rends, occupied one side of the bench. and Mr. Wells was on the other side, among many other Gentlemen; but whether they were supporters or not we could not decide. The space under the bench, the table of the Counsel during Ass;zes, was crowded with Gentlemen of the town, poll clerks, town clerks, Jim I and the Jury box was filled with the electors; there ate in Cambridge about 70; the front of the Hall and gal leries were filled with a rabble as ruffianly and cla morous as any in the world. whose manners the Uni versity has neither softened nor civilized. The precept for the election, and the other usual do cuments, were received amid.t incessant clamour. Mr. Alderman COTTON then rose, and proposed his friend, Colonel Frederick W. Trench. Another. Alderman briefly seconded this nomination. Colonel TRENCH rose, but in consequence of the deafening yells from the rabbl , , who seemed nearly equally divided between supporters and opponents, only a few broken sentences reached us, to this effect—He was once more before his constituents; he was gratified that his Majesty, having appointed him to an office, gave him this opportunity of satisfying the people of Cambridge respecting his Parliamentary conduct. There might be some who felt offended perhaps with his late vote on the Catholic question ; but he would, if they would all .w hint, prove to them all that he gave that vote most conscientiously, as he had already proved to his friends, on whom he had called, since he came to town. He declared to them must sincerely, as a man. of honour, that he voted most conscientiously. It was for the security of the Protestant Church, which was always most dear to his heart, that he gave that vote— he was prepared to prove that to them, if they would hear him ; but as they would not allow him to go fully into the subject, he would content himself with saying, that if they returned him again, he would always sup port the interest of the people of the bcirough of Cam bridge. Alter a few minutes, the M syor asked if there were ahy other candidate to be proposed? Mr. Wet.t.s rose—the clamor was astounding; he sat down—the clamour did lint cease; he rose again— and reanmed his seat from the same cause. The MAYOR and his Assessor more than once de:lared that unless srlence could be obtained, they should, though reluctantly, adjourn. Mr. WELLS, alter some minutes, proceeded to ad , dress the Meeting; and by the aid of very powerful lungs made same of his sentences - audible; but the con tinued uproar and occasional squabbles of the rabble interrupted many of them in their passage, and some times oveivrbelmad him altogether. He proposed himself to the choice of the electors. He could have had himself proposed by some of the honest freemen ; he declined it, because he knew what ruin such conduct might bring upon them. He would not expose any poor man to such risk. He stood before them, as he had a right, to offer himself as their representative. He stood before them upon public grounds, and for the public cause; though he well knew that those who came forward for the people benefitted little for themselves or their families. The MAYOR put the question to the meeting whether they would have Colonel F.W.Trench for their member ? The electors, about forty, in the jury boz o raised their hands.in token of assent. The MAYOR Then put the question in like manner with respect to Mr. Wells. Many.bands were raised in the Hall, but not by free men. The MAYOR accordingly declared that the majority was in favour of Mr. Wells. A poll was demanded for Colonel Trench. *MILLS was understood to decline the poll, but be briefly returned thanks to the meeting for the choice they made of him. He also took occasion to disdain any intention of saying any thing offensive of Col. Trinch's private life; he believed him to be an honourable man in his private life. The warmth of public discussion generally carried men beyond the controul over them selves, and he, too, was sometimes unable to check him self. Colonel TRENCH expressed himself *satis6ea with the conduct of his Learned opponent, sad added some ob servations in •indication of his humble conduct, which the noise and breaking Up of the meeting prevented us from bear iug. . Mr. Wau.s wished them all a good morning, and left the Hall •amidst loud cheers. • Colonel Taavcx remained to offer one or two- votes,. and complete the other ceremonies of his election.

SPARRING AT THE TENNIS COURT. The Es-Champion. Tom Spring, took his hen.-4t at the Tennis court yesterday, end had a strong muster of Corinthians. as writ as bumble supporters. The expectation of a display of good sparring seemed to have awakened the dormant spirit of the ad mirers of the Ss& ari ; and to this. as well Is the respect which the good conduct of Spring throughout his peedistic career had excited, may be :attributed the throng which was assembled. The display of self-detence was of the first order, mid gave very general satisfaction. The games opened with a disphy between Black Davis and Donovan, who were followed by Sheen and Smith, Bifrost and Spencer, Ben Burn and Tom Oliver. Young Dutch Sam and Baldwin. This set-to attracted the filed attention of the spec tators, and drew down bursts of applause. Neither of the men were in slap-up condition, Bub training too generally among the smalls of the Metropolis, ad Sam having injured his right band in a recent " turn-up; still both resolved to do their best. and an admirable cutest for superiority followed. The jobbing of Sans Was very powerful, and his quick execution, when hi. was equally creditable.

To. wards the concluders, Bob gave Sam a cross-buttock. bet in the closing Sam was even with him, and threw him as neat a back fall over his hip as we have ever Web. The match was 'cloud audios enthusiastic cheers. Ned Neal then set-to with Gaynor, sad bad his cork drawn. Then came Mick Reid and Harry Jones, , Cousins and Berry, Simon Byrne and Too Reynolds, Reuben ' Martin and the Cheshire Hero. and as the wind up, Torn Spring and Peter Crawley.

Tuesday. after the discussion upon the subject of the order from the House of Lords for the production of the Corporation Papers, alluded to in the account given in yesterday's Paper of what took place in the Court of Common Council, some conversation took place on the important question of 111PRISONNIZNT FOR MALL owe. A Petition was presented from the Medical Gentle. man who performs his duties at Whiteermostreet Pri. son, praying that some addition should be made to big salary, in consideration of the great addition to his duties on account of the increasing number of patients, produced by the crowded state of the gaoL Upon the motion for submitting this Petition to the Gaol C... mince, together with some others, The LORD Mayon said he had a few observations to roake.and those he should advance without the slightest idea of detracting from the claims of the Medical Gentleman whose petition bad just been presented. He was convinced that the public would be glad to hear there was every reason to expect that Government in• tended to interfere to supersede imprisonment for small debts. It had been represented to the Ministers that the arrests for small debts, particularly the Court of Request debts, was productive of the greatest mischief to the meals of the laborious classes, and that the pa rishes- on which poor persons who hack been ism• prisoned had - elaims were put to great expense on ac count of the existence of the law of arrest; in those cases the families of the prisoners being invariably de pendent upon parochial relief from the moment caption was made. This representation had made a deep im pression upon Gore' nmenr, he had had reason to be. sieve, and he trusted that at the beginning of the next Sewion the question would occupy Parliament. Every one to whom he had spoken •on this painful subject at once assented to the necessity of getting rid of so in jurious, and in every respect so unprofitable a system. Under these circumstances, it was likely that the medical duties of the petitioner would he considerably diminished in a short time r instead of being incteased, and there would no looter exist a claim to a higher salary on the ground of more extended duties. His Lordship threw out these observations as a hint to the Committee. Alderman Worm said, that Mr. Peel, to olio* active exertions the country was greatly indebted, had es. pressed his intention to so bmitt his moitimpur t ant subject to Path:orient as soon as possible. The gene. al contu sion created in Parliament by the great constitutional event which had (-centred, and which absorbed every ocher queition this Session, presented the adoption of some measure of ielief for unfortunate small debtors, as well as of some other projects of public utility. No doubt the Home Secretary,would turn his attention to the condition of the debtors whose families were thrown upon the world, and whose morals were almost inva riably destroyed by the gaolJbabits. The present plan was horrible. The tally many as had been a sh-rt time ago stated by the Press, with** benevolent feeling to. wards the poor, resorted to the . ntost ingenious means of involving the labouring debt and ruin, and infamy generally followed. The gaol of Newgate was often the next abode. It was impossible to hide the knowledge of the demoralizing effects s,f a prison con finement upon the poor uninstructed of the community. He (Alderman Wood) concurred with the Lord Mayor in the observations v loch his Lordship had made as a recommendation to the Committee. If, notwithstanding all that was expected to be done on this occasion, the Petitioner's patients did not diminish in number, the Court would most readily take into consideration the question of an additional salary. The Petition was then referred to the Gaol Committee. There are, it appears, at this moment upwards of 60 persons confined in the Middlesex side of Whitecross• street prison upon Court of Request processes, most of the debts being nodes SI. It is estimated that the fami. lies of half of thie number are now dependent upon parochial relief. All over England there are Courts of the same kind held, so that if this estimate be taken as an average, the poor rates are enormously increased by the small debt imprisonment. system.
