CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ELECTION.. We congratulate the country, and our . Cambridge friends in partidular;that they are eboni to witness a contest conducted in the spirit of the good old times, wino Whig and Tory entered boldly into the lists, and battled fairly for the truth of their political The present contest between Mi.CAVIINDISH and Mr. BAN CO necessarily revives these almost forgotten dis. • tinctiens; the former, the future representative of a great Whig Family, and supported by that party ; the latter the Member of a House equally distin guished foi its attachment to Tory principles. Neither of the Candidates being, as of late, members of the legal profession, which has caused so many va cancies (for Mr. BANICIS has for some years changed the arena of the Bar for that of political life), the straggle is of more importance. Their, very names are identified with those of Whig and Tory— COMMISSIONER ROSS. CAVIDIIipIII—BANICSIL The assertion that Mr. CA• VINDIIII is supported solely on account of his literary 'distinction at College, is a mete pretext to keep cptiet the Clergy. Why was he preferred to Mr. AL Duns, who-had in this respect much greater claims? why, but because the Whigs know • that Mr. CAVSN ,DISH is,from his familyconnexioas,more likely to continue of their party—They know too that their chance of their . _ coming in as a body will depend moch on the result of this contest, and they are making every exertion. But let the Tories only be united and zealous, and we doubt Apt the defeat of the Whigs will be as signal now as it _ has always been on former.occations r . when the contest as it does now, fairly brought the predominance of the Whig and Tiny principles of the Members of the Senate to a test.

Saturday the Committee on the London Midge met again; the Dikes of Wrttlaorota, BEAUFORT, and Arum.; Lords BATHuaar, MeLvtLie, and ELLen aoitoucat, the Marquis of LONDONDINRY, and about twenty other Peers were in attendance. b-turday the Bishop of LONDON performed the cere mony of consecration to the new Church lately erected in the parish of Kensington. The Church is situate on the west side of Brompton-square, and about 100 yards back from the road. It is a very neat Gothic structure of brick-cork, standing directly east and west, and is calculated to accommodate 1,500 persons. The inside of the Church is neat, and altogether without extrava gant or unnecessary ornament. The Right Rev.B.shop arrived at the Church soon after eleven o'clock, and was received by. the Rev.

Subsequently be commanded the Desiree and Pique frigates on the Jamaica station. In 1801 be assisted in blockading St. Domingo with the Desiree, and in 1804, 1105, and in 1806, when in command of the Pique, be captured several armed vessels, amongst which were the Termer French cutter, of 10 guns and 75 men • the Orqaijo, Spanish corvette of 18 guns ; and two French b rigs of war, the Phaeton and Vokigeur, of 16 guns and 120 men sack. During the contest between Oreat Britain and America. Captain Ross served as Flag Captain to Rear Admiral Sir Geo. Cockburn, in the Marlborough, Sceptre, and Albion. He was next appointed to the Northumberland, of 78 guns, which ship was selected to convey Bonaparte to Sc. Helena. In 1815 he was nominated a ; in 1819. he was appointed to superintend the Ordinary at Portsmouth ; in 1822 be was appointed Resident Commissioner at Jamaica; and afterwards he was removed to the same post at Malta, from whence he has returned to his native country to OH the honourable station of Commissioner of this yard. The demonstrations of public feeling on the occasion of his departure from Malta prove the estimation in which be was held there. On leaving the harbour of Valetta. in his Majesty's skip Dryad. he was warmly cheered both by the Military and Navy ; and Commodore Sir Thomas &aims K.C.B. in bis own boat, was conspicuous is leading these expres sions of good feeling. The oMcen and others in the several naval departments, as well as in every other branch of the Govern- Brent, and the inhabitants of the Island, showed the most marked regret on parting with Commissioner Rom His hospitality, the urbanity of his manners and the kindness he evinced to all, caused him to be beloved and l ooked up to as the life and soul of the island. The sere qualities cannot fail to win the esteem and affections of all here; and we feel assured that the whole of the grand establish. meat over which be new presides will have cause to rejoice in his appointment, and will feel the benefit of that kindly disposition by which this truly excellent character has been distinguished wherever employed.—Plyinsestk Niter. • the Trustees, who carried white wands, and escorted the • Bishopop she centre aisle to the altar.

It was proposed. that 250,000 acres of land should be . . granted to each person who could take out 1,000 fa ' milks, each family to have 100 acres of land ; the proprietor to be reimbursed his expenses by a suitable grant of land, and the labour of the emigrant. (three days a week).for seven years. -The parishes were to fur nish 501. worth of clothing, /cc. for each family of fi*e persons; but the original plan fell to the ground because the Government could not indemnify the parishes against the return of any of these emigrants.

Fitths. Yesterday. morning, about three o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the back part of the premises of Mr. Watchers, .bookseller and stationer. Charles street, Mary-la-bonne, nearly opposite the Middlesex Hospital. At the above hour the watchman on duty in Wells street observed a quantity of smoke rising above the houses in Charles street, and soon discovered that it proceeded from the workshops in the tear of Mr. Walthers's house at the back of Wells mews. The alarm soon became general in the neighboorho , d, which was rendered greater by the recollection of the resent des tructive fire at the Bazaar, and the inhabitants of the adjoining houses, and the poor people in the Mews, commenced removing their goods, and men. women, and children, were to be seen running in all directions, many of whores were in a state of nudity. The British, Protector, and Alliance engines arrived in quick suc cession, and a good supply of water being obtained, the firemen played with great effect on the devouring element; and in the course of halt au hour the fire was got under. The workshops, in which there were a quantity of valuable hooks in sheets, and valuable bindings, stationary, stamps. and other property, were entirely destroyed. The back part of the house was also consumed ; the front remains uninjured. It is not known how t h e fire originated. Saturday morning, at half past seven o'clock, the premise: of Mr. Russell, a tallow chandler, in Old Compton street, Soho, were discovered to be on fire. The house had only just been rebuilt, having been 'burnt down about four months since. The workmen had been engaged in melting down some offal Mr reeves, and it is supposed V , at some tal:ow must have dropped on tt e awls Iron. a piece of sacking placed o-er the mouth of the boiler, for the purpose of con. *eying up the.chimney the disagreeable fumes Joking tram the melting. By the prompt arrival of the engines the fire was got under in the course of three Trailers of an hour.. We understand Mr. Russell is insured. The various work, of the exhibition of the Colosseum are proceeding rapidly to completion.

A Homan SHOT.—Saturday morning a housebreaker was shot in the shoulder while attempting to break into the premises of Mr. Newcome, in Webber street. Lambeth. The owner of the house bearing a noise threw up his window, and perceiving one of the shutters of his shop down, he armed himself with a pistol, and on going down stairs saw a mat in the act of leaying the shop, whom he tired at and' wounded in the shoo' der. The fellow, however. was not sufficiently wounded to impede his career, for he still kept running, and esea ed through some of tie narrow passages leading out of the above street into the Waterloo-road. _ At Wadhurst, in Hampshite, twenty-eight persons have died, within the last month, of small pos.

An inquiry is nnw going on at Paris as to the titles purchased by Frenchmen and foreigners at It-me.— Many of the possessors of these titles are fou,.d to be persons of light character, who having become M .r. quiases, Counts, Barons, and Knights, by purcha,e of the Popo% Secretary, set themselves up for fine Gentle men in Paris. and practise a good deal of deception on the unwary. These titles ate disposed of their by .n agent, at something like the follov ins prices —For a Nlarquessate, 20,000 francs; for a Barony or a Count. ship, 12,000 ; and for a Knighthood, 3,000. Move than one purchaser of Knighthood has had the effroutety to dub himself Sir, in English society there. STAFF OF IRELAND..—In the Cour rier des El&ears, a paper recentls got up in Paris, we have a very amus ing statistical at count of Leland. Of this article we maf•, some time hence, give a translation in tots, with a few comments. In the mean time, we may observe. that the French account of the resources and popula tion of Iceland outstrips all the statements that we have had any oppottunity of seeing heretofore. Neverthe- less, it may be quite correct. With regard to the po. pul4tibu, it sets forth that in 1695, it amounted to 1,034,102; in 1754 to 2 372,634; in 1805 to 5,395,456; snit in 1821 to 6,801,827: Of this last number there were 3,441,926 males, and 3,459.901 females. In agricultural pursuits 1,138,069 were engaged. and 1.170,044 in commerce and manufacture.. 1111828, the number of inhabitants is rated at 8.490,000! This eicicis the estimate of the Association only by about o*e million and a half! The total value of property is giien at 563,660,0001. sterling, of which 9,000,0001 is deriominated public property. This, if it can be brought to the test, is really a valuable discovery and piece of infordition ; bet, unfortunately, it is at variance with another part of this statistical account, which states the acres *cider cultivation to be only 11,943,000. The, article in querion then enlarges on the Nobility of Ire ;and through a great variety of grades and generations, the number of Roman Catholics, the representation in Parliament, police, and bank circulation. In the c lendar of crimes, it sets forth that the number of per sons condemned in 1805 was 613 ; 911 in 1810; 2,319 in 1815; 5,377 in 1820; 9329 in 1825; and 9 269 in 11428.
