PALMERSTON, as one of the Members for the University of Cambridge, have the honour to announce to the Members of the Senate, that the Vice-Chancellor has appointed TUESDAY next, May 3, for the commencement of the Election. The early attendance of Lord Palmerston's friends 1. particularly requested.! The Commiuee have reason to fear that, from the imper:ection:of lists and changes of residence, some Members of the Senate may not have received letters which have been addressed to them. The Com. mittee, have, therefore, to apologise for any such apparent neglect, and to request an early communication of the intentions of any gentlemen who are disposed to support Lard Palmerston, and have not yet an. r.ounced their determination. Arrangements have been made by which any of Lord; Palmerston's friends may be sure of finding the means of conveyance to and from Cambridge, by application at the Committee-room.

X. of Brighton, who remarks on the discordance of our Polish News In our Stock Exchange letters, and that received through other chan nels, will please to observe that we give place to those letters merely as the reports on Change, leaving it to the public to attach whatever opi. nion they please to them ; and we do not suppress any part. because It now and then happens that the first notices of events reach as through that channel. We shall be glad to hear front ANICIII relative to the Election; and, indeed, be gratified to hear from local friends during the progress of every Election. We wish the STAR to be considered for the time, u the chief rocus of that species of intelligence; and during the bat week, it is to be hoped, we shall be considered u having done our duty. The subject grows daily in interest, and we are u much alive to it as any Candidates, or any Electors. This day despatches were received at the Foreign Office from Lord Viscount GRANVILLE, our Ambassador at Paris; from Lord Pot; sos BY, our Ambassador at Brussels; and from Sir CHARLES BACOT, our Ambassador at the Hague. TRIUMPH OF REFORM IN WESTMINSTER. In announcing the election of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT and Mr. HOSHOUSE, this day, for Westminster, we are merely stating a fact, which never could have been doubted as certain to take place. The Electors of Westminster have every occasion to be proud of their Representatives, and of their own independent and consistent conduct. They set an efficient example to the constituency of England in times unlike the present—in times unpropitious to Reform— and in times when, it should never be forgotten, to'give an honest vote often required no common political fortitude ; for it often exposed the voter to sacrifices of a substantial nature. It cannot be forgotten, that not many years ago, in Westminster, the tradesman often lost his business, by not voting with the supporters of corruption. Reform now is in its triumph, and strange it would have been, indeed, bad defection occurred in the Head Quarters of the Cause. On Saturday evening returns had been received from 33 places, including 67 Members, of whom 37 voted for the Bill, and 12 more are new Members favourable to the Bill. Hence 49 friends of the Bill have been already returned; and only 17 of its opponents, one of the 67 not having voted either way, but understood to be favourable, making the odds on Saturday evening 50 to 17, or nearly 3 to 1. `May that proportion continue ! and really all our accounts lead us to conclude that it is likely to be so. With such specimens of the opponents, and of the voices which have returned them, we need not doubt that a tri umphant majority of friends to the Bill will appear in the new Parliament. But at the same time we confess we shall not regard the VICTORY as including the banners of the enemy —if GASCOYN E is not expelled by the public spirit of 1.1- v ERPOOL—if DAVIS is not expelled by the intelligence of BRISTOL—if BAN YES is not expelled by the independence of DORSETSHIREif the SOMBRSETS do not lose their ascendancy in GLOUCESTERSHIRE—and the proud GREN VILLEB and PERCYS 111 BUCKINGHAMSHIRE and NOR THUMBERLAND. The achievement of these points, or the major part, will warrant a JUBILEE TO KING WILLIAM, such as England' has not witnessed since the overthrow of the Spanish Armada. By the Hamburgb Mails, arrived this morning, we have received accounts from Warsaw of the 22d April, as given in the Prussian State Gazette of the 25th—the general purport of which is still favourable to the patriotic Poles. From Berlin, of the same date, we learn, that the Prussian Government is determined to observe its neutrality, not withstanding the insurrection in Lithuania, which, by a paragraph in the Berlin Papers of the 22d, is daily becoming more formidable. We regret to observe, that one of the Lithuanian Chiefs has been taken, and shot at Wilna. The following are extracts to which we have alluded : Wassaw, APRIL 19.—The Municipal Council of Warsaw has pub licly announced, that notwithstanding the strictest inquiry, no symp toms of the cholera have been found among any of the Russian pri soners, taken near Malec. The prisoners also declare, unanimously. that no symptoms of any kind of epidemic disease have yet manifested themselves in the hospitals of the latter place. Inflammation of the lungs,dysentery, and ague prevail there, but not to any great extent• Hostilities bavc now commenced on every point. _ _ Waaaaw, APRIL 21.--Frons the Prussia • n State Gaspe& of 26th April.—General Sierawaki's corps has met with a check, which has obliged him to retire to the left side of the Vistula. After having crossed that river, with 6,000 new troops. and 6 pieces of artillery, he encountered at ronow, on the road of Lublin, the corps of General Witt, who had been joined by the: remnant of General Luts's corps, presenting a force of 24,000 men and 30 cannon. Instead of retiring and avoiding a contest with so superior an enemy, General Sierawski fought with him on the whole of the seventeenth, but was obliged at last to give way, and retreat to Kazhniers. On the following day, (eighteenth) he was attacked and obliged to recross the Vistula, in doing which be again suffered a loss which he might have avoided, if he had crossed during the night. His artillery was all saved, but his loss in killed is estimated at 1.200 men, among whom are the gal lant Lieutenant Colonel Count Julien Malachowski, and Lieut. Col. Count Wielochowski, who were drowned in the river, when, after hay. ing covered the retreat of the troops, they attempted to swim across the river at the head of their squadrons. The cholera morbits has shown itself in some of the hospitals, but the illness does not appear to have assumed a very virulent character. The Russian troops under General Sacken are said to have entered Pultuak. The Polish head.quartera are said to have been on the 20th at Minsk The Warsaw papers of the 21st allude to the above affair, but men tion, that they are not yet in possession of the particulars. In the Sitting of the United Chambers of the Diet on the 11th, 13th, and 14th, the discussion of the project of law for assigning land to the peasants was continued. The Warsaw Courier says, that in the sit ting of the 18th, there were such violent disputes as bad not occurred before during the present session of the Diet. The Warsaw State Gazelle contains the following news : " Reports have been received here, that, at the same time that General Dwernicki entered Voihynia, an insurrection broke out in the interior of that province. An armed force, which was under the command of citizen Sterki, has taken possession of Luba, having first dimmed and made prisoners of the Russian garrison, including the officers. The news that Siedlce was taken by our troops is not con. firmed." The same Paper announces from Tomorrow, in the province et Lublin, that Gen. Dwernicki having made a feigned movement, as if he would pass the Vistula at Zawichost, or Ballow, had suddenly turned in the contrary direction, and penetrated the woods to Krynice, whence he proceeded by forced marches by way of Tyszowee, to Krylow ; anti on the 9th passed the Bug, over the bridges which the Russians had thrown over that river, for the expected corps of General Rudiger. At Krylow he took Zit) Russian prisoners ; and several of them, in attempting to escape by a hasty flight, were drowned in the river. A bridge, which was set on fire by the enemy was saved, as well as a magazine on .hel other side which the Russians had also attempted to set fire to. Sonie 100 Russians which were at Hrubieszaw and .hc neighbeurbood, hest.' Leg of Dwerolekrs advance, feared he would cut off their retreat, eat withdrew precipitately ; thus the whole district of Hrubieszow Y hood from the enemy. The corps of Gen. Rudiger is said to be 7or 8,000 men, and to be between Luck and Wiodzimien. it Is further stated, that this march of Dwernickl's, through Wolliynia, Podolia. and the Ukraine, will not experience any great difficulty; as there is no considerable body of troops in those parts, sod the fruitful country will supply the soldiers whit provisions in abundance. The Polish Courier says, " From a letter dated Lublin, the 9th inst. we learn that a corps of nearly 30,000 men is in theivicinity of that city. The Warsaw Courier says, "It is reported that there was an en gagement on the 18th with a corps of the enemy near Pultusk, but we have no details, either of this action, or of that of General Sierawski with a very superior force. The Russian head-quarters are still at Siedies." A private letter from Warsaw of the 21st says, "The define if General Sierawski is fully confirmed. He was not able to reach the left bank of the Vistula but with great loss. The arrival of thowiti Dwernicki in Wolhynia, is said to have made but little impression here. The Polish head-quarters are said to have been, on the 20th, at Minsk. Siuce the 18th,beavy artillery ammunition waggons have been arriving in Warsaw, whence it is inferred that the Generalissimo intends to avoid a battle. Fortifications coutinue to be erected at Praga and Grochow. The Russian troops, under General Sicken, are said to have entered Pultusk. Beaux, APRIL 21.—St. Schuld Sch. 4 per cent. 98;.—Pr.

BERLIN, ARZIL 21.—There is no confirmation of the report that , our Government intends to interfere, by arms, in the insurrection of Li thuania or Poland ; on our side the strictest neutrality is observed, and the insurgents scrupulously respect the Prussian frontier. The report of negociatioo with Poland is renewed. Two Counts, Lubimil, whe have been to London and Paris, on missions from their 011110111111 Mt, are now here. Fourteen bench surgeons lately appall to dent Atofeus, the Russian Ambassador at Berlin, for passports to Warsaw.

The Belgic General, Porte. coulant who came here from France, with a false pasapoet, as a dyer, has been discovered, and put into prison. Posse, APRIL '2o.—lt is now affirmed that the Grand Duke Con stantine, who at first declined taking a command against the Poles, will have the command of a large army, in which there are to be 60,000 Finlanders. On our aide 80,000 men are to be employed in covering the frontiers in Prussia, towards Lithuania. They will form two corps, ova which, as well as over the third, in the Grand Duchy of Parma. Lieutenant-General Von Kraft will have the chief command, under the direction of Field-Marshal Count] Gueisnau. Hamburg Papers, April 26. Bastin, Aran. St —The communication between Memel and St. Petersburg will motione till the total suppression of the disturbances in the Government of Wilma, to be serried ou by means of a steam boat. which will start from Memel every Monday and Thursday, and leave Libau every Wednesday and Sunday. Letters from the frontier describe the insurrection as assuming a most formidable aspect. The main army is estimated at 13,000 men. With this force they lately marched against Kouno,which they in tended to have occupied ; but on finding a Russian ree of 2,500 men stationed there, they thought themselves not strong enough to venture an attack, and contented themselves with occupying Slobodka, a suburb of Kouno. Our amounts from the interior of Lithe thuania are extremely imperfect ; so that we know but Side oaf? I Us real elate. Between Maziampol and Kouno, the leave apsspletel y . destroyed the Chanute.

One of the Lithuanian Chiefs, Lubenovraki, irk& kid been taken prisoner a few days before in a skirmish near the rioter Swienka, was shot at Wihia on the Bth inst. Bannowicx, April 22.—His Serene Highness Duke William of Brunswick has definitivel3r assumed the sovereignty of this country,tbe govt baring been declared vacant in consequence of the inability of Dells Mien to administer the supreme authority. This step has Mm proemial by the King of England. The patent is dated 20th inst When the Russians retreated from their positions on the Vistula to Scidlec which is two or three days march from the Vistula, it was evident that they gave up further hopes of offensive operations. They now appear to have fallen back an equal distance from Siedlec to Biala, and their van were, by the last advice., at Thereepol, on the left bank ad the Bug, near Bresc. In the mean time Dwemicki was their front, and on their right flank In Volhynia and Lublin: Uminsky was on their left, and Skrsynecki was pressing their rear. There were reports that Siedlec was already occupied by the Poles. Under all these circumstances, and the equally important one that the whole country, for one or 200 miles, between them and Russia-proper, is in open irrection, there seems little chance that many of this vast' lament of despotism will ever return under arms. CITY, TIVOO'CLOCK. A great number of ship-letters have arrived this morn ing from all parts, but at present we do not bear they bring any news of importance. We also have an arrival from Calcutta, of the 2d January. The French Mail is not come to hand, consequently we are without any late information from the Continent. There is a long bulletin in some of the morning journals, from the head-quarters of the Polish Commander-in-chief, which chiefly relate to the battle of the 10th previously re ceived ; but other accounts in the foreign papers state, that the Russians have retreated, which may be only a feint, to draw the Polish army from their resources. This day is a holiday at the Bank, Stock Exchange, and Foreign Market ; consequently, the brokers and jobbers hare asaembled on the Royal Exchange, and Console, which left off on Saturday at 7.81 79 for account, have been done at 79. A manifest joy is expressed in the City, at the happy success of the various elections in favour of the King and Country. Singapore papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 22d December. From the Price Current : Opium, very little in the market ; a few chests of Patna and Benares have been sold at dhs. 780, cash, and 820 to 830, two months' credit. Piece goods, Madras, are selling in considerable quantities at our prices. Europe.—Extensive sales have been made of goods re cealy imported, particularly in long cloths and cambrics, the former at 7 to 7i dhs. per piece, at usual credit. In cceisequence of the Court being again closed, the mer chants are thrown into great embarrassment it being found I utterly impossible to collect debts from the traders in the bazars, or have legal interierence, On 'Change in the Funds very little is doing. Consols have been in the course of the morning 79a for the Ac count ; since which they are not so good, and may be quoted at present 79, sellers. In the Foreign Funds nothing doaing. We hear Guilford has returned two Reform Members. We have a report that the Poles have obtained another victory over the Russians; but as yet this requires confirma tion. SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. HiltALD.—The veriest 'cum of radicalism and jacobiniun never re sorted to language more disloyal, more vile, or atrocious, than that which is now constantly issuing from the lips of those who, in the pros pect of a reformed parliament, foresee that, with Wolsey. they :bust bid " a long farewell to all their former greatness," which mainly con aimed in a monopoly of most of the higher, and no small portion of even the lowest emoluments in Church and State. We have seen the exhi. bition of venom which some of these persons displayed in the closing scene of the last parliament—we have seen the coarseness and the bit. terms which are vented in their behalf through the small portion of the press which still devotes itself to their service ; but these are nothing compared to the angry reviling!, the disloyal turpitude, and the almost revolutionary menaces, which they are giving loose to in every place where they and their slander can find admission.— Yet these are the persons who talk of their reverence and attachment to latitutions, and who profess to deprecate reform as a prelude to Oh yes! existing institutions are delightful things, as long is shower their blessings on the few; and that, indeed, will be a• a revolution which robs these disinterested souls of that which alms secures and is a test of their loyalty and attachment I Hitherto mic lwl eeal has seldom led its votaries beyond attacks upon each other; anti-reform violence, now assumes a new and suicidal new ; and the very persons, whose cant watchword has hitherto been 1 64 Church and King," now turn round upon themselves, and actually 1 , assail the King with language which, if less than treasonable, is more than I seditious. It behoves the people in general, however (sod they seem olive to the call), to adore the conduct of their patriot King, just in propor tion as his and their enemies revile it. The loyalty a the borough. mongers, it is clear, consisted of little else than what, in common We, U celled "cupboard love." They professed, it is true, to reverence the throne "as the fountain of honour," but only as they themselves held the key : and now that there is a ance of the door being thrown epee, and of that which was intended for the many being no longer nintined to the few they are ready enough to throw mud into the fountain, and to poison the waters of which they are no longer likely to be the sole partakers. We trust that the honest friends of reform will, every where, have more good sense and good humour than to re talkie upon these desperate throes of an expiring faction. One of their objects is to exasperate the people. Of this let the people be aware. Let angry feelings be confined to those who lose the game, and unknown to those who are everywhere winning it. But above all, Ist the King see, in every act of the people, the love and gratitude which they tear him for having surmounted difficulties for them geoter, we will venture to say, than have ever fallen to the let of a lifeitich Monarch ; the real extent of which will never, from clot very undue of them, be fully known to his subjects. Posr.—The cause of Revolution is on the wane; the Revolutiosists arel this, and proclaim their consciousness of it. They feel that reason has failed them—that they are beaten out of the field of argument; ' and bullying, terrorism, mob violence—which our present Ministries hove from the first avowed to be their main reliance —are ow i more openly and daringly than ever put forward as the intro. ant by which their purposes are to be effected. The lead. log Radical and Blinisterial Journal thus described, on eatriday, the treatment which a " high-spirited people" (prohpadorl) ought to inflict on any Constitutional Candidate who may dare to show his fees ea a popular hustings s "We see him in our mind's eye present himself to the people—we hear the groins which at first assail him—we see the Est discharge of mud, dead cats, and rotten eggs, which encircles his bare and devoted head. Then, as the populace becomes more dew , abed and more excited, we see the pebbles begin to fly—these are sua add bp paving stones, bricks, &e. and the Corinthian capital of Tory ha is forced to retire with a broken head, and through the back door of the Mayor's private house. Now, do we approve of such scenes as these. Quite the contrary."—Lest this should not be sufficiently explicit as an incitement to the one party or warning to the other, we shortly after. wards are favoured with a piece of advice if possible still less equivocal : " Once and again we warn them to desist; not if they value the lives Oil happiness of others, for they are too selfish to besnoved by such ceitiicrations ; but ti they valve their own." A more di. no or earnest incitement to murder could not be ima ginsi. The ruffianly instigator, however, of all these " high ' proceediogs, does not approve, it seems, of such Kew. Excellent But we venture to assure him that be will find few beside himself who will not be sincere in that dis approval. If any man having a Briton's heart in his bosom, be he Whig or Tory, Reformer or no Reformer, do not loath the idea of atrocities as are here advised, and execrate the proposer of them, we tie ad Mew sir countryouen. That there are robbers,murderers, and fe line of viebroodeerdptiens,men differing from the brute onlyin form,who wall be reap to bosh the author of this scheme in carrying it into ex. emstion, weds swot mane, pretend to doubt. That it would be con fined to these we also firmly believe. But does this desperado imagine dist any threats he can put forth will succeed in terrifying the sup porta of the Constitution from their duty ? He is mistaken ; they are strong and unflinching in the good cause, and it is sincerely to be hoped that the country, roused to a sense of Its danger, will aid their exertions in frustrating this infamous attempt to impose upon free Eng land a system of mob terrorism and tyranny. Travis —lt is pleasing to observe, that wherever reformers are re tuned, there is no different. or cavil about the extent of reform, and that " the bill, and the whole bill" is the device on their triumphant lams. We have heard, however, that in some quarters a grenadine 15:8 has been expressed, that ile qualification of a 101. house rent, cities, would be almost equivalent to universal suffrage, and admit great mobs of the people to the poll We call this suspi dal gnsulleet, because it ought to be recollected, that a man who m aples m ewes a house of the annual value of 101. must pay at least 61, er Same Is taxes, and must thus be raised above absolute poverty. Bs. dies, the wan t must be registered fora year before the election, and the men ash he the lower quarters of a large town generally hire their hems at a dieser sine. But it is evident that the rate could not have lea node Idgles, whitest asking a difference between the qualifica tion is mil mid letup lenvithe.

Posy.—Cambridge University Eketion.—Cheering accounts of th probable issue of the approaching struggle for the representation of e „ . University of Cambridge pour in upon us from all plasters, and setn, to leave no rational apprehension of a disastrous termination to that tune portant contest. We have watched most anxiousl y the several ind :c dons of opinion evinced by those enlightened s of which University is comprised, and mat solemnly do we believe that sit r present justly their sentiments when we declare our conviction very general apprehension is entertained of the wild and ill-disc s ; !measure of Reform introduced by the Government, and still . general condemnation of the unprincipled methods by e r L . ), Moistens arc effecing their uifiah purposes. On this conviction I t i s that our confidence in the defeat of Lord Palmerston and Mr. Crave. dials is mainly based; and therefore, when we hold out this insurance of success, we must most distinctly be understood to rely, up to t l i , last moment of the fight, on the unremitting exertions of all those t, whom we have a right to look for succour at this perilous juncture. an over-confidence in the result of the struggle cause one moment's n. taxation of exertion—if a timidity to embark in the strife, ce unworthy resignation in its result, be suffered to intervene between e t e , man and his duty—if views of wit-interest or convenience pollute the Source:or choke the expression of opinion —if, in fine,. from whan t ,_ votive, or on rhatever plea, each one leaves that to be efftctcd by his fellow, which it is a paramount duty he should contribute es. wards himself—the race will not be to the swift, nor the battle t the strong; the treacherous tactics of the enemy will prevail, the recorded sentiments of the University will be at vz. dance with those which it entertains, and the high sanction of its au. thority will be employed for purposes detrimental to its character eat destructive of its interests. Happily for the University, there net:: was an occasion when,with fewer motives for regret,eithcr of a ptivate public nature, it could make an unequivocal demonstration of iis "hike by ditcaiding its Representatives from a further continua: et its coulidence. To Lord Palmetston's devervings we have I already paid our humble tribute, and we arc happy to believe that we have been the means of conveying to his Lordship a rebuke, likely, e., trust, when the first burst of indignation is over, to give rise to refit,. Lions in which it will not be unprofitable for blot to indulge. Or. Mr. Cavendish's conduct it was not our intention to have passed ur t single condemnatory comment. In deference: to his age, the difficul.; of his situation, and the many estimable points of his character, viewer, willing that his indiscretion should have met with no other rebuke that : the withdrawal of the confidence of his constituents. But that for. be:notice we would willingly have shewn to the worth of .311; Cavendish, the indiscretion of those to whom he has enti uoted his can. vass will not allow us to extend ; and we are &egged reluctantly int a short review of chat gentleman's conduct, vindication of tbr character of those by whom it is now pretende d that he is caericiously tleeired. When Mr. Cavendish's claims were first presented to th, University, recourse was had by his friends to every precaution that could be taken to lull political feeling and divest the contest of a pan; charecter. His academical distinction was studiously made the bud. week of his pretensions—party politics were excluded from his letter to the electors—stud a g entleman known only by his scientific ceiebrit; was placed in the chair of his committee. Nevertheless a powerful party in, the University still kept aloof, unwilling hastily to coufet gr. at a trust on one of whose political sentiments so little was known. It became accordingly necessary for Mr. Cavendish, in order to obtain the support of this party, to make a more distinct avowal of his politi cal sentiments, and in his second letter to the members of the Senate a pledge to the following effect was given ;—" I take this opportunity of expressing my gratitude for the success l have experienced in my can. vast. ; and although the circumstances under which I am a candidate for your favour preclude me front any declaration of political °pink; on particular points, I can with truth assure you that I yield to none in attachment to our civil and ecclesiastical institutions, and in a sincere disposition to maintain them." Miseri, quibus Intentata nites. Could it reasonably be anticipated by those to whom this pledge was given, that immediately on hie entrance into Parliament the pawn from whom it had been received would become the dupe of a low and extreme faction, and evince his disposition to maintain our civil and ecclesiastical institutions by supporting the Irish Vestry Act, Vote by Ballot, and an extension of the elective qualification to the occupation of a house worth ten pounds a-year ? That Mr. Cavendish gave this pledge with sincerity we believe; that he does not consider it incur. Isisient with his conduct we are willing to concede ; but in return we exact that those who accepted it with a different understanding should be altogether liberated from their half of the ooligadoo. THEIR MAJESTIES. WINDSOR, MAY I.—Their MAJESTIES returned to the Castle on Friday evening, a little before seven, escorted by e party of Lancers. Prince GEORGE of CAMBRIDGE, the Rev. Mr. WOOD, Miss EDEN, and Miss WILSON, arrived yesterday forenoon. Tbeir Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of GLOU CESTER, the Earl and Countess of Bnowli Low, and Lord HILL, also arrived. In the afternoon of yesterday the Kiwo took a drive in his pon y phaeton, accompanied by Lady BROWN Low and Miss EDEN, and followed by Prince GEORGE of CAM BRIDGE and his tutor in a second phaeton.
