Then you apprehend, that you are hound not to divide the yearly revenues, whatever increase there may be ? Whatever increase may happen, not one fraction of it conics auto the provost's or fellows pockets, certainly not. What's the origin of the distinction which you have come In Let wren the hues soil the yearly revenue, dividing the noes, but not dividing the increase of the revenue?-1 pie • haute that peciod • certain portion of the expense of donuts went for the summit of the fellows. when the practice began to be universal su conceit& Su take fines; I imagine that our hoily, Irmig as near as possible in constit ution like Bran and chapter, only without the title, it was tolruJurrd about that time, as far as I have been - aisle to learn, mill as fai. 44 1 here been able to ascertain, by intercourae with the must int( Iligent members of chapters.

Do not the statutes say, that they shall bold no living of any 'Attie beyond the term of a yeas ?-I'hcy do, certainly; exactly so. Do they not take an oath not to obtain or use any dis ?--The question seems to have turned entirely apall the worsts " non impetralm" et "nun War," whether the fellows (nit the provost) swear that they will ind obtain any dispensation, or use one if obtained ; the 1111401011 was, wlicilser the oath regartkel a dispvissatiou which had been I eceived and acted upon for two hundred years before, or hether it recognised nu dispensation whatever ; mud it was decreed, that Ullatirs of Eton might hold one piece of pc., ternicut with their fellowship, subject to the restriction inetouned ; and it was further enjoined, that the letter of I.?.•ieres Clisalwth should be considered as pert of our sedates. The su!..jrct of the appeal was argued much at length for two drys. Was the decree mark with any reasons to explain why the oath was rinetrutel, without reference to the statute, pe remptorily prohibiting livings?—Nu. Was that part of the statute, upon the construction of which nu doubt is raised, atibittitital to tlie eousidrration sit those keened pilaw's, as well as the furor of the oath upon which that doubt may be raised ?—The whole question was tigitated at large, with reference to the fails or sundry pre sentatiuus, and the atatetneut of the then state of the fel- Sews, with respect to the loriugs hell by shim, was brought before the Coml.

I would beg to slate, that the filluzsbips are, in must instances, given es rewards fur serv:ces as twisters or assistants nt the reboot ; and if it were nut for this, we should hardly lie able to get men of Yarning and talent to fill the situations in the school; it is at all events a stimulus to their exertions, to look forward to the possibility of obtaining a fellowship. h there any limitation in the statute, as to the kind of food to be allowed to the boys?—None; soil as to the qua. lily of the fond, the greatest care is taken by the bursitis, who, upon hearing any complaint, immediately institute an examinstion.

Is there any examination previous to the electing to Kings%—Always.

Then in the result, suppose there is one vacancy and three candulmes, in what manner would that choice be maile?—Eo online men scripti fuerint iu indentions. In what way is the order of the writing of the names set tled'—By the electors when they meet ; and if any disputes arise, the person or persons ■re first named, in quern vel gins major pars ipeoreen examinautium consenserit in bac pane, or words to that purpose. How do the electors make up their minds in preferring any names to inscribe him before the other in the indenture? — We have hitherto taken the list as the master sends it in to ns, upon this that he is more competent to judge, and knows more of the merits of the buy limn we should from our exaniimition. When a contrary practice prevailed, it has, I understand, been remarked, that the relations of the provost and those of the fellows frequently went out first. There is 'hewn, in the present le, the moat inflexible impartiality. Its obtaining priority of nomination, there is no interest whatever ; if we conceive any person is imam. petrol, we should probably dismiss him ; butt there has been bet one instance of a flagrant nature, that I have knows of. I entered into the election chamber. with the intention to oppose that person ; but from certain circumstances I was induced to withhold that opposition. Then, in point of fact, the examination by the electors is a matter of form'—Nut entirely so ; upon those occasions I have hail reason to animadvert upon their conduct, and to say, unless I head a better account of them, they wank' lose their nominnt' at the ensuing election. With regard to the order, it is with the electois to decide what that order shall be; bitt I presume it would be a very difficult thing to alter it, so as to produce a better general result. I query whether, Wan alteration were made, that it would produce a snore beneficial ilfect. Do you understand the master always to give the prefcr• ence to the boys whom he thinks the most worthy?—ln many instances, a very plain airtight f,rward scholar ' of universal good behaviour, we consider far superior to a bury of brilliant abihties s wha i+ irregular in particular instance.; to such boy* we have biro obliged to hold out threats, and they generally have had the • flirt of psouliecing a change, except in one or two iiestances, in which eases, they have been withdrawn privately. Are you argleamied with wird happened to the late pro fessor Pomo., to prevent los eleetiou to King's ?—1 beg leave to say, that every are t that I have read *hone him, in relation to this circuinotaiece, is incorrect. When he came to the school he was placed rather higher by the reputation of his abilities, than perhaps lee ought to have Item, in con oequesece of his mina! attainments • and I can only say, that many of the alaiCalf`llll in the life of l'ur.on ore we e founded in troth. With reaped to prosody he knew hot little; and es to Greek he had solute but cumpaeal early little progress when h. Came to our school. The very i itc • and harmed editor of lisle account of him leis been nrkinforsied in rostra particulars, and many of the incidene+ which be relates, I can venturefrom ney Dan knowledge to assert, see distorted or exaggerated. Even Peerseen's competitions, at an early period, though enaiorutiy correct, tell far short of excel lence ; still we all looked up to him, in consequence of his great abilities and variety of information, though much of that information was emetiatal to the kienwleilgt of his school-fellows, and could nut easily fill under the notice of his in.lemetora. He always undervalued school exercises, and generally wrote his exi erases fair nt mice. without study. I should he sorry to detract hum tier merit of all individual whom I loved, esteemed, and admired ; hut I speak of him whine he had only given the promise of his future excellence; and in point of school exercises, think that he was very in ferior to more than one (XII:. cuutimporairs ; 1 would name the previit Marquis Widlislry as infinitely superior to him in common! ion. Did he write the same b aseliful hand as lie did after warels?-11e did; nor was there any depth( of his general octants. ship.

Marechal de Camp Roineul, commanding the 19th military di vision, immediately dispatched u guard of honour to the Prince, who would not accept it, but he ac companied his refusal with the most gracious se knowledgmeuts. On the following day, his Royal Highness received the visit of all the Officers of the garrison, and then assisted at a general review of all the troops. Oa the 7th, his Royal Highness vi sited the public establishments and principal 1118111 U• factures of the city, as also the remains of ancient monuments in the environs. His Royal Highuess left Lyons on the tith. The Duke of Richelieu's plate was sent off yes terday for Aix-la-Chapelle. The British Museum has purchased the library of the late M.

An extraordinary crime was committed about the latter part of August at Chouilly, in the district of Epernay, by two children, one live years of age mid the other eight. They succeeded in getting into a house near their own residence while the owners were absent, and havi n g satisfied their appe tite by eating of every thing they thought proper, they proceeded to torment au infant eight mouths old, that was lying its a cradle. They first beat it with a crucifix, and then to stop its cries they filled its mouth with ashes, which they also stuffed into its eyes, and finished by thrusting the child under the grate, and covering its body with cinders. The Judge of Instructiou at Epersiay immediately on learniug the circumstance repaired to the place, and caused the elder culprit to be placed in con finement.

ISIS Lo.t•triglit's Gazette contains a Proclamation by his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, by which the meeting of Parliament is further prorogued from the 2d of October to the 12th day of Novem ber. It is not stated in the Proclamation that Par liament will then meet rr for the dispatch of busi ness." We may therefore conclude that the Le gislature will not be assembled earlier than in the mouth ofJrnuary, unless it becomes imperative on the Crown to require its assistance by the occur rence of a distres.ing event, which the present state of her MAJESTY'S health offers but too much rea son to apprehend. Should the fears arising from the QUEEN'S illness be unhappily realised, it 13 very probable that Parliament will be suffered to meet on the day to which it now is further prwogued. In the Gazette notice is taken of the riotous attack made on Wednesday, the 211, by the re feactory tradespeople of Manchester, upon the factory of Messrs. GRAY and Co. commonly called Ancoat's Mill, in Pollard-street, Manchester, and a pardon is offered to any person or persons who shall give evidence against the planners and advisers of the outrage. The conatables of Man chester, however, give greater encouragement for the production of evidence, by offering a reward of two hundred guineas. Feeling extremely desirous that the aggressors should be brought to justice, we cannot avoid suggesting the propriety of exa mining the Editor, or other writers of The Courier Newspaper, who uypear to be rely deeply informed respecting the. Wails and operations of all the rioter+. Iu taking the evidence, however, of these Gentlemen, went care must he exercised in sepa rating their allegations of facts from the vapours and surmises of their own imaginatioes, and as ill the playfulness of fancy they are moult in the habit of confoundiug these together, it will be found necessary to have all their statements supported by stiong cir ennistantial evidence. They too will slimily one point, which W our surprise has been tted in the Proclamation, namely, the seditious and traitorous intent; and will, no doubt, from the specimens already published, argue very wisely and right legally to prove from the most approved doc trines of constructive treason, that the attack on Ancuut'a factory being a branch of a general scheme planned for a general object, was high treason. They will also trace the connexion be tween the late rebellton and the present, will point out the agency of tie same agitators, and above spew the onion between the rioters in Man cheater, Stockport, &c. and the persons assembled in Palace-yard ! This dreadful combination of circumstances they will attribute to the licentious twos enjoyed in this country, both of speaking awl writing. and will thence deduce the Necessity of i tttt nedialely mud totally repealing the troublesome Act of Habeas Corpus. himi.ver, it may be asked, could The Comitr have gleaned all this alarming intelligence? The knowledge of a plot is generally shared by the conspirators mid spies, who either have been or affect to be conspirators ; and in which class floes the Courier desire to he placed ? It is evident from the terms of the Proclamation that Ministers do not consider the outrages committed in Manchester as the result of a treasouable conspiracy, we are consequently to suppose that the spies are not as yet provided with any details of a matured plan, of which their employers can take cognizance. In such a ease, we look upon the allusions to con spiracies and treasons by The Courier to be worse than a contemptible affectation of appearing to be very knowing. Au air of mystery can he assumed • ./ j I( 140`\y\%, , Without tiidicully, while the danger of detection is contingent and remote, Should the trick succeed in deceiving any considerable pert of the people, a great object 44i1l be gained by the greater as well as the minor jugglers ; and should it fail, repeated experiments have proved that it might once more be attempted with safety.
