At eight the Professors, precede) by all rents, accompanied by a ereat number of other persons,• went in precession to the Church of the 13 essed Virgin. where Ts Perm was chaunted by the Me:rotrslitan Of this islaq 1. •After Divine Service the proeesslon returned to the }fall of the University, heie the usual academical sitting was held, in the presenie of thsrAaprd High Commissioner pro tempore, of-the Piesident and the Senate; the chief authorities of the State, and a numerous audience of persons of distinc tion. The Ephorus of the University briefly stated the varlbas lectures which had been delivered during the 1 ist year, and the rapid progress of the yeishs in their several branches of study. After this the Archon asked ii the academic body thought fit to confer the Laurel of Medicine on Sig. Caralambo Pilarina of Cefalonia, and that of Literature on Signor Constantine Sachellaropulo, Professor of Archeology elect, in the University ? And the Faculties of Medicine and Literature assenting, the above two Gentlemen were introduced into the Hall by the Orator of the University, who declared the doctrines and the moral virtues of each of them. When they had both received the laurel; the Orator delivered a very profound discourse,in which he proved the use and advantages of study, and traced: ab ovo, the history of Greek Literature, following it minutelyin all its epochs. Coming down to our modern times, he shewed how the youth of these Islands, by the wisdom of the Govern ment, which, by the institution of the University, has given them every means of studying with succesi„had the way open to them to emulate the virtues of their . illuvrious ancestors. Our Orator being obliged to pass over many pages of his discourse, in order not to run the risk of wearying his hearers, deprived thereof great part of the pleasure which they would doubtless have felt in listening to the rest of the recondite information nourable Archon closed the sitting with this discourse: Great was my joy at the close of the second year of our University, to see the number of our young,Philo- Inger: amount to 80. How much better founded and greater must my satisfaction be at now seeing triple that number of youths, whose progress in every branch of learning inspires the fairest hopes for the honour of this institution, and whose conduct has on no occasion given me any trouble. And it is not only from thePhilologers that our Academy expects its future splendour. As many other youths in the gymnasium insured it con tinued prosperity, it is especially pleasing to see among them so many who are destined to the education of youth and the service of the altars. Heaven grant, 0 my beloved and promising Philologers—A) youths, both Ecclesiastics and Laity, that you may persevere in the conduct that has hitherto done you so much honour! and may the ALMIGICTY, who has so benignantly 'pro tected us, guide and prosper our feeble efforts, to the eel of his name and the observance of his holy laws." —Gazette of Milan, Dec. 15. Last week, a poulterer in Oxford, was convicted in penalties amounting to 19Q1. for having in his possession 28 pheasants, seven bares, and three partridges ; in all probability provided to furnish out the luxurious enter tainments of those whose province it is, " to teach the young idea how to shoot. From the general bill of mortality for the present year, it appears that the large parish of St. Leonard, Shoreditch, has neglected to make any return ; so that this important document, from which such interesting statistical conclusions are in the habit of being drawn, can be no longer relied upon. TEIONHOUTH.BRIDGE ACROSS THE TE1GN......-Mr. TELFORD'S Report of this very beautiful undertaking is highly flattering to the engineer and subscribers; the latter of whom are already, in idea, reckoning on a handsome per tentage on their shares, when the bridge and Torquay road are completed, both of which it is expected will be passable lor.g before :%lidsummec.— The ride from Exeter through Powderham, Dawlish, and Teignmouth, to Torquay, Paignton, and Brizham, will be one of the finest in the West of England b and ti e great'advantage to be derived by a nearer commu nication with Torbay, especially in time of war, will be a national benefit. It is in contemplation to cut a canal from the river Teign to Newton Abbott, which will be a most important acquisition to those towns. BENEFIT OF CLERGY. —As the true meaning of the tom may, perhaps, not be generally known to our rea ders, we give the following definition from a corres pondent:—Felony, which comprehends almost num berless species of crimes, is subdivided into two classes— with pr without benefit of clergy. Benefit of clergy, at present, signifies an exemption from capital punishment, in all felonies where the legislature has not taken away that benefit by express words. The origin of this prin ciple, which is very little understood, is as follows: At the time the Catholic religion was the established one in this country, the clergy claimed an exemption from punishment for all secular offences; and the legis lature was so far duped by them as to grant them that privilege; therefore, whenever a priest was convicted of a crime, for which another man would suffer death, he was discharged without punishment, oil proving himself to be an ecclesiastic. The clergy did not f.il to avail themselves of this advantage; and, if any credit is to be given to historians, were guilty of all kinds of enormities and depredations. This induced the parlia ments at various times to subject them to capital pu nishments for particular offences, by taking, away from those offences the benefit of clergy. In those dark su perstitious times, every person who could read, was pre sumed, in law, to be a priest in orders ; and till the reign of Anne, a man who was not possessed of that qualifi cation, was liable to be hanged for an cffence which one possessed of it would only be burnt in tr:e hand for; but since that time, laymen are allowed the benefit of clergy once. The clergy, however, are entitled to claim it as often as they have occasion, and are ezernf ted from the punishment of burning in the hand by th,: statute of I Edward VI. which extends the same privilege to peers of the realm, whom it also exempt, from capital punishment for the crimes of lious.: break ing, hthway robbery, horse stealing, and robbing of — churches. Felony without benefit of clergy are capital offences, of which Sir William Blackstone, in his time, enumerates a hundred and sisty, and since his death upwards of fifty have been added to the catalogue. We trust that in the alterations in our crimival code about to be proposed by Mr. Secretary PEEL, these circum stances will receive their due share of that Gentleman's attentive consideration. .~ .'I, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. • - HUNTING. • His Majesty's Stag Hounds meet en Mondayseit, at Farnham Common, and on Friday, at Salt Hill. The Halibletinn Hounds, on Monday, at Calberfilton ; Wed nesday, at Bising Paris; and Friday, at Caibamptoh Down. The Old Berkeley Hounds meet on Tuesday It Collethorp Park, on Thursday at Fyfield Tree, and on Saturday at Stanford Village. GRAND FOX CHASE AT MALPAS. Friday se'onight, Sir Richard Puleston's hounds met at Iscoed Park, and after drawing blank a number of small coverts,crorsed the Fen's moss to Bettisfield springs, where they immediately found, and off went not fewer tbau three as fine foxes as ever were run, one of which was followed by seven couple of bounds, with one of the whippers, in the direction of holed. The b ody of the pack, after being for some time baffled by the different cross scents, and the shouting and hallooing of crowds of font people, at last got settled to it, and away they went to Bettisfield, the seat of Sir Thomas Hanmer, through the shrubberies and garden, across the Park, and on to Hanmer village, when be tried a small cover, close to the Oakes, thence to Hannter_Hall, throne!' the Park, and on to Newhall, where be changed his course, and went direct for the Wyche', which be with difficulty gained, the bounds close at his brush great part of .the way. Here poor Reynard was obliged to use all bis cunning. and tried all his old accustomed haunts, but, alas! could find no friendly shelter. Being soon obliged by his stanch pursuers once more to venture into the open country, and, like.a brave fellow, gaining fresh courage in proportion to his knowledge of the danger, scorning the covert, he went off with renewed vigour, and in grand style, to Maipas, where the hounds drove him at their very best pace, and being quite close upon him, fie was obliged, faint and weak, to seek shelter in the house of a doctor. Being driven thence (probably for want of a fee), be tried a number of small gardens; and atill hard pressed from one cot. rage door to another, he at last found admittance into an old woman's kitchen, where he had no sooner sat down to breathe a bit, than the hounds came dash upon him, and woe betide their I cruelty, scarce gave him time to escape at the front door, when seeing the church-yard near, be thought be should there find a sanc tuary. In this he was right, as the bounds could make him off no further. Whether he got into Church, or might have been a spirit of some huntsman of the olden time, come go try the mettle of hounds and men of these degenerate days, and went to his narrow house again, is not known. From the many obstacles and mis chances to be encountered in so long a chase, it was fortunate for the poor horsemen waggling far, who came up in time, as such a scene of merriment and noise has seldom been seen in the good town of Malpas. RUNNING MATCH. Yesterday morning, on the Staines road, a celebrated runner, from Nottinghamshire, was matched, for 50 sous. to run twelve miles in one hour and thirteen minutes.

Such proceedings may be strictly according to law, but they fall short of the common rules of civi lity in business, to say nothing of the peculiar situation of these gallant men, ordered off at the call of their country, without the possibility of communicating with their friends at a distance.—Plymouth Paper. On the night of Saturday, or morning of Sunday last ) the tongues of two horses, on the lands of Rochfords town or Castle White, in the parish of Innskinny, in the. South Liberties of Cor k, were cut out by some inhuman monster or monsters unknown: but a suspicion rests upon . a person who had threatened the owner with some act of violence as a Christmas box. SHOCKING AFFRAY.-...Mr. Tewkesbury, the Sheriff's officer of Salisbury, having a warrant to serve on a person named Hickson,resident in Salisbury,proceeded, with his assistant, to his house. The map waited without, while Tewkesbury went in. On making known his basiness,.Hickson seized the fire-shovel, and aimed a desperate blow at the officer's head, which he warded off with his arm ; they then closed, and Hickson seized him by the collar, and squeezed his throat so tight that he would have been strangled, if, by a desperate effort, he had not got himself disengaged. Tewkesbury then made towards the door to call his man, but Hickson having placed himself against it, a fresh struggle en sued, during which Hickson drew his clasp-knife, and made a thrust at Tewkesbury, and, but for the knife 1 1 striking on the jaw -bone, and glancing from . thence across the shoulder, his fate would have been inevitable. The force of the blow may be estimated by the fact, that the knife, in its oblique direction, went through the double collar of the officer's coat. Tewkesbury at lcpgtb succeeded in getting the door open, and, on the man entering, Hickson made a thrust at him, gave him a desperate wound under the -ear, another on the face, and dreadfully cut his head. He was at length secured, and taken to prison: Mr. Beckingsale, the surgeon, promptly attended, and dressed the wounds of both persons. The man is in a dangerous state. The town of lima; on the borders of Lapland, is of considerable size, the streets being long and perfectly straight; it possesses this peculiarity, that the inhabit ants all dine at one fixed hour ; which they observe so rigidly, that a stranger entering the place at that time ,would suppose it visited by the plague, so totally has it the appearance of being deserted. Along the whole coast of Westro-Bothnia, the women bind coloured handkerchiefs across their temples, beneath which they wear the close skull-cap ; excepting on the Sabbath, when they all appear in white hand kerchiefs tied like hoods aboot their heads. BON MOT.--The late Dr. BARCLAY WAS a wit and a scholar, as well as a very great physiologist. When a happy illustration, or even a point of pretty broad hu mour, occurred to his mind, he hesitated not to apply it to the subject in hand ; and in this way, he frequently roused and rivetted attention, when more abstract reason ing might have failed of its aim. On one occasion he hap pelted to dine with a large party, composed chiefly of medical men. As tile wine cup circulated, the conver sation accidentally took a professional turn, and from the excitation of the moment, or some other cause, two of the youngest individuals present were the most for ward in delivering their opinions. Sir JAMES M'IN• TOSH once told a political opponent, that so far from following his example of using hard words and soft arguments, he would pass, if possible, into the opposite extreme, and use soft words and hard arguments. But our unfledged M. D.'s disregarded the above salutary maxim, and made up in loudness what they wanted in learning. At length, one of them said 'something so emphatic—we mean as to manner—that a pointer dog bort ed from his lair beneath tl e table and both-wow wowed so fiercely, that he fairly took the lead id the discussion. Dr. BARCLAY eyed the hairy dialectician, and thinking it high time to close the debate, gave the animal a hearty push with his foot, and exclaimed in broad Scotch— , g Lie still, ye brute ; for lam sure ye ken just as little about it as any o'them." We need hardly add, that this sally was followed by a hearty bur't of laughter. in which even the disputants good 'burnoosed/ joined. .:;~;~ * idat • • . , POLICE INZILIGENCE.

Nit.. Richards murmured, but through the interposition of friend, consented to the dog's destruction.

A little boy applied for Confirmation, a short time since, at Chester. Upon being asked if he understood the design of the ceremony ? be replied. " Yes; take upon myself the sins of my godfathers and godmo thers, and be liable to serve in the militia." During .a performance at the Private Theatre•in Ca therine-street, last night, a little boy, in attempting to run on the gallet y cornice (in imitation of Goffe) fell into the pit, by which he had his arm and leg broken. A poor carpenter named Peouting, returning' home' from work on Wednesday evening, bras seized-by a larg dog in Grove•road, St. John's Wood, with which he contended for more than ten minutes before he could throw him, which he at length accomplished, having teen severely bitten in his hands and arms, and having his clothes much injured. Malty persons came tip dur ing this contest, but no one had sufficient mirage VI yield the poor man any assistance, but all. fled .with as much spe.:d as possible. When the dog was down, and the man had his knee upon him, he was able to draw a knife from his pocket, with which he armed himself against his savage foe, during which time the beast had seized the man by the ancle, and lacerated it in a shocking mariner; the man, however, wounded the dog in the throat, when he left his hold, and ran away; the poor man was taken to a Surgeon's in the neighbour hood, and is under •surgical treatment. The dog was traced by his blond the next morning as far 23 the mid dle of North Bank. The man attacked was a strong. active fellow ; had a youth or woman been in the situation of the man, death would inevitably have been the consequence. • ; .'

Yesterday one of the clerks of Messrs. Pickford and Co. ap. pealed to answer the complaint of a Gentleman named Cecil, for neglecting to deliver a box and hamper, containing poultry and other perishable articles, sent off to London by their agents at Man chester on the 19th inst. The packages did not arrive in town till last Friday, and in consequence of the delay is arriving the whole was completely spoiled. The Clerk stated that it was impossible at this season of the year to prevent a little confusion occurring with respect to the convey ance of some parcels. The very extent of the complaint could only reach to the delay of one day. The ALDZIMIAN was satisfied, from his acquaintance with the Gentleman complained of, that they could have no wish to injure any one. His opinion was, that the complainant and complained of would adopt the best course if tney were to arrange the matter between themselves. Probably Messrs. Pickford and Co. would have no objection to return the amount of the carriage, and to divide with Mr. Cecil the loss. ♦fter some hale hesitation, Mr. Cecil agreed to accept of a sove reign from Messrs. Pickford and Co. BOW-STRit..T. Yesterday John Minton was brought up for final examination, on a charge of committing a fraud on Joseph Turner, a pawnbroker, of Brydges.street. • The prisoner went into complainant's shop and offered several silver spoons to pledge for Si. complainant would not give more than 71. and the prisoner returned the spoons to his pocket, but as if consenting to the pawnbroker's terms, he again presented them, and received the 71. The pawnbroker, shortly after be had left, discovered that he had changed and substituted seven plated ones of *similar pattern. There was another charge of the same description by Mr. Hodges, pawnbroker, of Drury-lane. The prisoner contended that there was no case made out against him, as no one could prove that he did not mean to redeem the spoons. He described his connections as respectable, and said that he had been reduced by distress. He requested the Magistrate's consent for the arrangement of the case by his making restitution to the pawnbrokers, and requested to have some spoons returned that were found on him when taken, as they were not his own, and he had left 241. as security with the person to whom they belonged.— Me wished to settle these claims with that sum. Sir It. BILNIC refused to lend himself to the compounding of a felony, and committed the prisoner, without making any order as to tlie spoons. ./. Alndersces, a journeyman baker, was charged by the Parish Officers of St. Pancras, with deserting his wife and three children. Mrs. Anderson (with an infant about six weeks old in her arms) stated that she bad been married to the prisoner at a privals louse in Edinburgh, according to.tbe usual forms of the Scottish Church, three years ago, and lived with him till within the last three months,- when he wholly deserted her and his family. Anderson at first questioned the validity, in England, 9f vet a marriage; secondly, he had, at a church, in Glasgow, f , slonths after this contract, taken another wife; and lastly, he was out of employ at the time he deserted her, and could not endure to live with a woman when he had not t he means of supporting her re spectably. The MAGISTILATZ said the marriage, on the authority of Lord El lenborough and other eminent lawyers, was legal, and consequently he was actionable for bigamy, and bound to provide for complainant and hei children. Sandy then wept, and said he was willing to send her home to her friends in EdinbUrgh. The MAGISTSATE answered, " I dare say you would be glad to get rid of her and her helpless infants, to your disgrace ; but you will find it no easy matter. You are now, you acknowledge, hi work, you deserted your wife in her most trying time ; the l'Atish Officers have acted commendably in bringing you here. I hope they will follow you up; in the interim I shall commit you for want of bail. HATTON-GARDEN. A man, named Wyse was charged with attempting to stab Mr., Price, one of the Directors of the Mendicity Socitty. The prisoner had been relieved on former occa'ions, and yestertliy made another application to the same effect. Mr. Price told him that work should be procured for him: but he declared he would not work until he received some money; and, taking a knife out of his hat, he rushed on Mr. Price, and attempted to stab him. The prisoner was committed, in default of bail. The parties who were apprehended for manufacturing base coin have been examined In private. Between two and three thousand pounds' worth of counterfeit gold 'and silver coin has been found, packed in parcels of five, ten, and twenty poundi each, concealed under an artificial flooring, and finished for circulation. Yesterday Mary Ilackans and Eleanor Crou•tney, two girls of the town of the very lowest description, were charged with the follow ing offence: The complainant, John Thompson, a most miserable-looking nun, by profession a vender of religious tracts, stated, that as he was passing up Holborn, last night on his way home, he was ac costed by one of the defendants, who was loitering about between Brook-street and Gray's Inn-lane. In reply complainant merely asked her to purchase one of his good books, upon which both the girls assaulted him in a most violent manner, and succeeded in rob bing him of a piece of pork and two shillings, which be had secreted In lais bat. The complainant had no witnesses, but his face and habiliments, both of which were in a most tattered condition bore ample testi mony to the truth of his statement. The girls, in defence, concurred in declaring, that it was the tract merchant who had been the aggressor. They said, they were going along on their own business, when the complainant accosted them, and succeeded in enticing one of them a few paces down Brook street, when be began calling her wicked words, pulling her nose, and biting her fingers, and that her cries, which were occasioned by the pain she experienced under the singular operations of the reli gious tract seller, had brought her companion to her assistance—a milk ensued, and the end was, that they were taken in charge by the watchman. The Macinvaave gave but little credit to this plausible tale (they being well known clirracters at this office)—and after severely re primanding them for their scandalous conduct, ordered them to be locked up in default of WU.

Two youths, named Ilayots and Hinsephries, were charged with keying unlawfully offered for sale a quantity of linen, the property el Mr. Westley, of the Strand. It appeared that Haynes's mother is a laundress, and employed by Mr. Westley. A few days ago she sent her son to Mr. West. ley's house with a basket of linen, and desired him to bring back the dirty linen. On the. way he met Humphries, who assisted him to carry the basket. Haynes received a considerable quantity of foul clothes, but instead of taking them home, he and Humphries took them to a shoemaker's shop in Monmouth-street, and offered them for sale. The man suspected the boys had stolen the clothes, and therefore sent for a constable, and bad them taken into cus tody. The mother of Haynes came forward, and said she desired her son to bring home the dirty linen. Mr. Westley's servant said, the linen was delivered to the prisoner Haynes to convey to his mother. Mr. CUNANT said, there could not be a doubt that the prisoners intended to dispose of the linen, but he could not commit them for trial for stealing goods which had been delivered to them by the owner. The Constable here produced two handkerchiefs which belonged to Mr. Westley, and which were found on the person of the pri soner Humphries. Humphries said, that whilst he was carrying the basket the handkerchiefs fell out, and Haynes desired him to put them into his pocket for safety. Air. Westley's servant said the clothes were placed in the basket in so peculiar a manner, that it was impossible any :31 them could have tallet. out.
