GssurAfey, IT has of late been promulgatei so generally, that it is my intention and my duty to retire from the contest for the Ttepresent.ition of the University, that I feel it incumbent upon tne to take this Public mode of meeting both these statements; of anurlng you. in the first place, that I am dttermined to come to the Pull on TUSSDAY next, and of satisfying you, that if it be the duty of any Candidate to retire, that duty does not devolve upon Ille. _ _ - You will tecollect, that I Cants forward as a Candidate for the Representation of the University on the death of Mr. SMYTH.— iniong the first of those who cannot consent to make further con cessions to the Roman Catholics, I was one of the first who inti mated an intention to stand. I received considerable encouragement, hut at once withdrew my pretensions, in deference to the superior station and claims of the SIMAICILI6 nor could I, from my necessary absence on public duty in Inland, resume my Canvass on his subse queut rt•tirement. I gave, however, the most distinct intimatinn. t h at I s hould, nn the next occasion, solicit your suffrages, and, In cmlformity with the pledge so given, I now come forward. I have stated to pu, individually, the ground upon which I rest my claim to your support, that of undeviating attachment to the Constitution of my Country ; and you cannot fail to be aware, that I have newly twenty years, steadily and consistently resisted the admin. won of Roman Catholics to Political Power in this Protestant ace. I have had sufficient opportunity of ascertaining that my principles are not disapproved by you. I have received distinct promiirs of support from nearly Five Hundred Members of the Senate; a number greater than that ever polled by any successful Candidate, excepting Mr. Per:. I have received the most encour aging assurances from many othets, who have declined pledging :t-ir Votes until the period of Election, and I leave it to yOu to decide, whether, with this body of support, it would be becoming in me to retire? Every sacrifice of personal interest or distinction I would wil. linty make, to ensure the success of the principles which I have uniformly maintained ; but, I feel that I should be betraying the confideuce reposed in me, if I were now to abandon a contest which :ins me so fair a prospect of sealoualy representing your opinions in Parliament. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most faithful and o►liged humble servant, Lcndon, June 8,1826. HENRY GOULBURN. TO NOBLEMEN, GENTLEMEN. LAND STEWARDS, AND FARMERS.

EUROPEAN LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY OFFICE, 10, Gummi-rim; Bwenw►iis, I.OIIDOL THIS COMPANY is formed on principles combin ing every degree of security, with advantages superior to any previously offered to the Public. It consists of a number of Pro- prietors, who are required to assure on their own Lives, or on these of approved nominees, sums proportionate to their respective Shares, on every Transfer of which a new Insurance Is required to be effected. This system, by the perpetual renovation of policies, secures the stability and growing prosperity of the Company, and is productive of great benefit to the assured, wk. participate in the profits arising from this regulation, without being responsible for the engagements of the Company, which are secured by a large subscribed capitaL In the year 11119, when the European Company was formed, the Directors caused rates of Insurances to be calculated from the amalgamated life tables of all Europe, which produced results lower than the rates of any Company then established, and which will still be found lower than any of the Tables of Companies mere recently formed, which admit the assured to a participation in the Profits ; and this difference is so considerable as tube in the nature of an annual bonus to the assured. _ _ _ The affairs of the Company arc managed by a Board of Twelve Directors, which sits "very Wednesday throughout the year, at the Company's Office, No. 10, Chatham-place, Blackfriars.

The LORD CHANCELLOR this day partially delivered judgment in this case, which underwent so lengthened ;In argument some days since. He hesitated much whether it sv , ul4 not be better to send the matter to a July to ascertain the mode of election which should be adopted. There appeared to be three classes of electors ; first, those who paid the church and poor rates; those who paid only the poor rates; and those who paid neither one nor the other. • After going through the greater part of the documentary evidence, his Lordship postponed his final opinion until to-morrow.—The Court ruse soon after two o'clock. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Juxa 9. SIR F. BURDETT V EIR•GERARD NOEL. A verdict had been obtained in this casein an unde fended action against the defendant for 4891. 151. the amount of a bill of exchange, together with 341. costs, making in all 5231. 15s. and an application had been subsequently made to tke Court, for an order to the Sheriff to pay over the money to the plaintiff. Mr. ALEXANDER now rose on behalf of the defendant, to resist that application. It appeared from the affida vits that transactions had frequently taken place be tween the parties, in the way of accommodation bills, drawn in fAvour of a Mr. Gaythorne Butt, and the bill in question was one of that description. Sir Gerard Noel had applied to the equity side of the Court for a bill of discovery relative to the transaction, which would lead, he thought, to important disclosures. The Conn. were of opinion that the answer of Mr. Butt could not be allowed as evidence for the defendant, And that an injunction could not be granted him after Sir Francis Burdett had sworn that he gave consider. ation for the bill. The opposition not allowed. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Jun s. THE KING V. G. RAWLINSON, ESQ. The ATTORNEY GENUAL moved for a rule to shew cause why a mandamus should not issue, directed to George Rawlinson, Esq. one of the Magistrates at Marl borough-street Office, commanding him to hear and determine a certain information exhibited against a hackney coachman, for obstructing the King's highway in Howland -street, Tottenham-court Road. It appeared from the affidavits on which the Learned Counsel mined, that formerly there was a hackney-coach stand in Howland -street, when that part of the town had been but half built. Latterly that coachstand had become a nuisance, and had been ordered to be removed by the Commissioners of Hackney Coaches,' who were em powered to make such order by the 12th Geo. 111. cap. '69. The order so made prohibited any hackney-coach man, under a penalty of 10s. from placing his coach for hire in Howland -street; and several hackney-coachmen having infringed this injuction, they were summoned before Mr. Rawlinson, who was of opinion that he had not jurisdiction; but recommended that a Mandamus should be obtained, in order that it might be ascertained whether he had authority to interfere or not. Under those circumstances the present application was made. —Rule granted. THE KING V. JOHN ARMSTRONG. The defendant, who had pleaded guilty to an indict ment filed by his Majesty's Attorney General, charging him with having committed a violent assault upon two Excise Officers, named Webster and Richardson, who had, in the performance of their duty, seized an illicit still, and a quantity of spirits, in a cellar in the defen dant's house, at Manchester, was brought up to receive the judgment of the Court. The Armitage Gemara having been heard shortly in aggrava tion of punishment, The defendant put in a paper, stating that the Excise Officers had assaulted his wife before he committed any act of violence'; and he trusted that the provocation which he had received would be considered as some palliation for his offence. • Their Lordships having consulted together for some time, Mr. Justice BAILEY observed, that the offence with which the defendant had been charged was one of a very serious nature ; but as tare defendant had, by pleading guilty, and thereby saved the Crown the ex pence cf a prosecution, shewn that be was aware of the enormity of his offence, and was willing not to aggra vate it by pleading not guilty, the sentence of the Court was, that the defendant should be imprisoned in Lan caster Castle, and there to be kept to hard labour, for the term of nine calendar months. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jens S. SNOW V. SADLER. Mr. Sergeant WILDII hAd in this case obtained a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be granted, on the ground that the Jury hid been undUly biassed in finding a verdict for the plisintiff, from peculiar cir cumstances which were involved in the consideration. Lord Chief Justice Bear read his notes of the trial, which took place before. him in Guildhall. About twelve months ago, Messrs. Stone and Co. lost several Bank of England notes, and they were duly advertised accordingly. Four of these notes for 301. each had beeii, after an interval of several months, paid into another banking-house, and two of them were traced to the defendant Sadler, who was a stable-keeper in Oxford, and who said he had either received them from his banker,er taken them in payment of bets at the list Doncaster races. It was proved that, he h Id not obtained them at his' banker's, and there-was only his own declaration that they had come into his possession at Doncaster. His Lordship had left it to the Jury to say, whether the defendant had nvd the due caution required by law in taking notes of that value? and they had found fur the plaintiff. _ _ Mr. Szrjeant WILDS, in support of his rule, urged, that the sane caution which Was required of a trades man at his counter, ought not to be' expected in the hurry and eicitem.nt of a Race Course; where ihe party [Paws SEVENPEN CE. had lawfully gone ' in pursuance of his business as a dealer in horses. He made this remark in consequence of its being said that the Bank notes having been re ceived out of an illegal transaction (betting), had not properly come into. the defendant's possession. The COURT granted the new trial on the terms, that tint cl.efopvd int should pay the costiofthe application, as well as the amount of the verdict. Into Court. CAPTAIN FRANKLIN'S EXPEDITION. We are sure that the friends of Captain Franklin and his party, and the public at large, will be gratifi-d with the perusal of the following letter from that ex cellent Offico : 7th Sevember, ist.S, lat. 6S. t t. N. long. 123. 33. W. MY DEAR Stn—l do most heartily congratulate you on the prospect we had from Garry's Island, of a per fectly open sea, without a particle of ice, as it is another step gained in confirmation of your much-contested hypothesis. We saw nothing to stop the ships, bu-, on the contrary, everything around us strengthened my hope of their effecting the passage. The India•is, indeed, have a report, that between the Mackenzie and Copper-Mine Rivers there is a point that stretches far to the northward, which is gener.illy surrounded , with ice. If this be true, the ships perhaps may be checked in their progress for a time, but I thiuk they will cot be altogether stopped, providing they have been eaabled to get at the maid shore to the eastward horn Regent's Inlet. No Indian, however, with whom I have spoken on my recent visit to the sea s can speak of this point, or of the obstruction, horn his own observation; and the report seems, like many others current among them, to have passed from genera - ion to generation, which at the first had but little ground to stand twit. The Indians, in fact, know nothing of the coast, the knowledge of the sea shore being entirely confined to Vie Esqui matt x. with whom we have not as yet had any communication.— They are employed during. the summer in catching whales, and in other marine pursuits, to the eastward-of the Mackenzie, to which, I believe, they re:urn in the winter. Their neighbours, the Quarellers of Macken zie, or the Lancheose of the traders, resemble them very much in appearance, dress, and manners, and many of the Equimaux words, which Augustus understood, were in use among them ; but, as is too orten the case with the neighbouring vibes of these Aborigines; they are almost always at war with each other. Fortunately for us, however, terms of peace were settled last sum mer between them and the Esquimatix, which we shall, of course, endeavour to strengthen, if we meet them together. The Quarellers were quite delighted at seeing Augustus with us, and assured us thete would be now no fear of the Esquimaux receiving us in a hostile man ner, as they had already been apprized by them of our intention to visit their lands; and the reason for.our doing so could be more fully explained by him than they could do. We saw many moose and rein titer, and large flicks of geese and swans at the mouth of the river, which, no doubt, are to be found on its low shores (luting the whole of the warm season ; and probably the anirnals retire to the woods in the winter, which are not far distant from the coast. The long track of al'uv al ground which is passed in the descent of the Mackenzie is well covered with pines, even as high as 61 north, which world afford good shelter for any animats. The Rocky Mountain range is seen through nearly the whole course of the river after passing the south branch of the Mackenzie, at no great distance from its banks, running in about W.N.W. true direction ; but they do not appear so high as I had been led to expect till you reach the sea, and then they attain an immense elevation, and seem to form the sea coast to the west ward. We shall probably pass very near them next summer, and be able to give some account of them. If a judgment might be termed from a very distant view of two or three of the highest peaks, from their shape and appearance, I should - suppose these to be volcanic. On Garry's Island we found plenty of coal and bitumen, embodied in the black earth of which it is composed; but I find Dr. Richardson has given you a cursory outline of the geology of the river and this lake ; my imperfect information on this point may therefore be spared. I can only assure you, I have more than once wished the expedition could transport some of the fine limestone cliffs that bound the liver, to the vicinity of the Thames ; we might then soon be enriched by contracting not only to supply the material for the new London Bridge, but also to satisfy the pre. sent rage for building, at a very cheap rate. We are now is the very bustle of finishing our own buildings, which, however, are not of stone, as you may suppose, but of wood. The house is situated close to the borders of the lake, for the convenience of the fishery, which is to be our main support, though we hope to catch a few rein -deer, on their march to the south next month. My land friends, dur ng my ab sence, have named the house Fort Franklin, .which, at their solicitation, I have permitted to stand, or I in tended to have given it the name of Reliance. I have discharged All the Canadian voyageurs that Mr. Dease could spare, in order to reduce our establish ment to as small a number as possible ; we are now, therefore, nearly a British party. All the men hare conducted themselves extremely well, and they quite enjoy the service. We must endeavour to kelp them as merry and active as we can during the winter. I cannot sufficiently praise the Officers, who have been constantly on the alert; and most zealous in the cause, as you will suppose, from our having done what we have, and got seated hete at . such an early period, neatly a month before the Company's servants get to their winter quarters. We were just six months from leaving Liverpool to the Arctic Sea. • JOON FRANKLIN.
