i w,,, 1 L,,, 4 , ... titicz' OF frroci -3F I :~~ ter came before the Coon on a former day, when they directed it should stand.over, for the purpose of producing the affidavit of Mr. Jeplison that he *as desirous of taking upon himself the office: The SOLICITOR-GENIRAL now produced the affidavit required. Ile thought it material, even on the preliminary objections taken by his Learned Friend on the other side, to *hew what the nature of the professorship in question was. There were five professors appointed by the University, in none of which was the election by the heads of houses, but by open poll. The professorship of chemistry was established as far track as 1702, and that of anatomy in 1707, in both of which the forms of the Grace were precisely Ike same as in the present pro fessorship of mineralogy. The professorship of botany was established in 1724, the professorship of music afterwards, and last of all the professor ship which is the subject of the present inquiry.— The professors have important public duties to per . form : they have a place of dignity in all proces sions, and take precedence of the proctors—take an oath of office, and hold for life, except in cases of misconduct. The Copal is • body consisting of five or six individuate, and they must be uusni mous &fore soy law can be proposed to the Se. nate: When they 'are unanimous, the question is proposed to the nou-regents' house, and then to the regent's, where it must pass by a simple ma jority. That was the form of a Ggace; and that for the professorship of anatomy in 1707 was in the tame form as the present Gime, end in that case an individual was elected by open poll, and not by beads of Ileum. As to the right to the mandamus, he apprehended it made ito difference whether the professorship had been established twenty yeurs or • century. Mr. Justice BAYLEY—" The Caput have come to • resolution that there should be • successor to Dr. Clarke." The SOLIcITOR.GINZIAL—A‘ Yes, my Lord. It is important that your Lordships should know that in some instances the individual is named in the trace, but in general the professorship is merely declared vacant." The Learned Counsel went on to contend that the office in question was • valuable one, although no regular salary was at tached to it, for by the oath of office the Professor was obliged to deliver public lecture', and those who attended those lectures must pay him. This he at •ed in answer to his Learned Friend's ergo- Ment, that there was no einolumerit attached to the office. This being then an office of high rank, held for life, and with emoluments incidental. to the performance of the duties, he robinitted sesit ()he which entitled the party to his remedy by won dusty:. He might also state, that there was a very valuable collection of minerals, worth upwards of 1,5001., which was always delivered over to the Professor of Mineralogy. Mr. Serjesnt Lasts objected ; neither that fact nor tie oath of office appealed ou the affidavits be fore the Court. The SOLICITOR-GENBIAL said, but it did ap pear that this was au office held for life, and with emoluments, and in addition to the emoluments he had already alluded to there was also a sum of 100/. which the Crown gave every year to each of the Professors. His Learned friend had objected that this was derived from the votes of the House of Commons, but that vote was merely to enable the Crown to make the grant, which was .after wards appropriated to the payment of the Pro fessor's. Mr.'Serjesot LESS said, the Appropriation Act did not compel the Crown to make the payment to the professors. The SoLtcyroa-GitOtost, said, that was not his orguthent:: what he was contending for was, that this Money flowed from the bounty of the Crown; and not from the House . of Commons, so that if the vote should happen to be intercepted, there was no reason for supoosing the paymerit would not conti nue to be made. As the Court had granted thewrit now prayed for in the ease of offices of much los. ferior value, as, fur instance, in the case of • schoolmaster on • royal foundation, he conceived their Lordships woold not refuse it io this cow, which was of far greater importance. It had been objected by his Learued Friend that their Lordships should not grant the vnandamus; as the party had another remedy. In the case of the King e. the Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge, in2tl Burrosigtia, it was urged that the King was the vi sitor, but Lord Mansfield held that the mandamus would lie. He contended there was no case or the books where, the King bring the visitor, the .re medy was by appeal to his Majesty in Council. In Charles the Second's time, when the rights of Corporations were not respected as at present, there was a note of some decision of the Privy Council, but that would hardly be cited as an authority. In 1725 there was Mother case, but there was 'milting there to shew that the parties had nut consented to go before the Privy Council, as the moat con venient tribunal for the settlement of their dif. ferentes. The Learned Counsel went on to argue at considerable length, that if the King were the visitor (which did not appear on the affidavits to be the case here), he still must exercise his func tions by the mouths of the Judges of this Court, • Whether the King were visitor or no. was a quer. turn of fact ; they might state it to their return to the writ; that might be traversed, and the ques tion being a question of fact and not of law, might be referred to a Jury. The'entio Jerrice inquired if there were any clause in the charter of the University, giving them the power to appoint readers or lecturers at their pleasure ? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he believed it stood'on prescription roily. There was in the affi davits the usage since 1702. Mr. TIIID•LE, Mr. STARKIE, and Mr. AwOs, followed on the same side. The CHIEF Juortcs--' , As the Court cannot ootiveniently devote the time necessary now, this rule must be enlarged till next Tenn, when we can look into the cases cited." T ESTER DAY.

Alien, R.J. Chambers,' and R. Hodges, Esqrs. to answer the complaint uf-a poor woman named Hales, for illegally detaining a ftather.bed, bolster, and Other silicate of household furniture. The poor woman stated*, the Magistrates that she was a widow, and bad a family of three small children who were totally dependant en her industry for support. She lodged at • house in Celliugwootstreet, Christchurch, and up to the Ise nine weeks always paid her rent iegulatly, but dur ing that time, not having any employment, she was prevent ed from making her weekly payments, and she and her fa. gaily the whole of that period were in a must deplorable coo. dicier'', bordering on starvation. Her landlord bad made re. peened applications for his rent, and her answer was, that it was nut then in her power to pity him, bat the first work she obtained, her earnings should be appropriated to his de mean'. He declared he would e.sit au longer, but would nelte her goods, and accordingly, on Tuesday morning last, the D.feudant and his man came into her roum,and demand. ed the refit. She told bim she had no 'honey, and could unt pay ; he replied, "Then t must take your goods," and com. settees' taking an iaVeulOry of her feather bed, bolster, a table, a mahogany commode of drawers, a Dutch clock, and • folio family Bible. She remarked that he had taken more than sufficient to pay the rent, which was 11. 7a. but he said be had not ; and then said if she would allow him to hare the pillows besides the snicks he had already taken, he would I.sy the rent sad costs for her, upon con dition that he should dispose of them as he pleased; I. fact, he offered to purchase them of her for the amount of the rent She sai t she thought they were worth more money, and de then said, ,` Well, I don't mind a trifle morn," and gave her and her daughter a shilling each, and then ens. veyed the goods away. She afterwards named the fitment. stance to • friend of her's, wowed Plaint, who declared the Defendant had acted very illegally, and consented to lead her the money to pay the rent and cuslo ' so that she might recce kw her little furniture. She thankfully embraced the off.r, and on Mr. Pions repairing to the Defendant's house, and tendering the money, be reused to give them up, us the ground that be had purchased and not detrained them. Mr. Pimna stated, that he had been a broker many years, and when the poor WORM, had told him how she had been deprived of her goods by the 'defendant, he agreed to lend her the money to recover the., knowing her distressed Mina. Lion ; and un tits tendering him (the De.enclani) the money for the rent and costs, he declared be world not give them up, as they wire his prop. ray, having filial; bought them of Mrs. Hales. He advised him nut to be too precipitate in his eleterminattnn, as he would be liable to an action at common law for his illegal detention. He would bear no reason, said by his advice the poor woman bad sought redraw at the hands of the Magistrates. Mr. Allen told the Defendant he had acted most illegally; be bad no right in purchase the goods; he ass employed to distruin; sad for his good he would advise him to settle the business with the poor woman. The Di feudant could not or would not be made sessible he bad acted illegally, and declared be would not compro mise the affair. Mr. Allen sold him that be had acted most shamefully, and his conduct was a disgrace to the business in which be moved. The Defendant said he bad no right to give up the goods he had fairly purchased; if be bad distrained them, mid then refused to reuore them, he well knew he would be liable; but that was not the case, be bad bought them of the woman out.of charity. Mr. Allen—" You bought them for your own lucre; you did nut do it to assist t►e poor creature. If you persist the goods were sot distraised, you must have moles them. I think it borders very near on a rubbery, for which you may be sent to /4ursensosget lane. Let me again advise you to settle the businew. The Defeatism agate refused. Mr. Chambers--" Then let there be an information ex►i bited against ►im for an illegal seizure." The Defendant said he was ready to answer auy proceed. Toga.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE . An Inquest was held yesterday morning at the Swam Ta vern, Greet Dover.strem, Southwark, on the body of Mrs. Mary Asa Pellew, a lady of fortune and respectability, who 'resided in the Clapham-road, leading to Kennington Common. Mr. George Drysdale, surgeon, of Lambeth, stated, that .ow Wednesday morning, between nine mad ten o'clock, be .was pent An to attend Mrs. Pellew. On his arrival at bee late residence, be found her in the arms of bee servants is the kitchen, into which, he was informed, she had been car ried front the back yard, having thrown herself out of her chamber window upon the pevetneet. She was undressed at .the time, and be supposed that she had got out of her bed to commit the unfortunate act. Her head was very much in jured, her chin was cut, and there was • severe commentate of the brain, which produced her death. She lived only an • boar after the accident. Every thing was done her situation required, but the effects of the fall were too severe to afford the least hope of her recovery. Mr. tienjando Atkinson, surgeon, of St. Nicholas-lane, In the city of Loudon, stated, that he bad professionally attend ed the deceased fur a considerable period. She laboured wader • depression of spirits, and was constantly affected b 3 false impressions of the mind. At times she would fancy that she was indenter of coming to poverty and want ; and at other times that she had no apparel to pot on, and that she moat go naked. He bad no hesitation is vein his opi wizen when she threw herself out of the window she was net at the time of sound understanding. There was, on fortenstely, insanity running in the blood of the family ; it was distressiog to say so, bet it was too true ; for a Meter sad the mother of the deceased, and other members of the gamily, had in • elate of lineally destroyed themselves. Mrs. Mer 7 Bay stated, that on the monde( of Wednesday fist she was in the garden at the back of her hewn, which is - adjoining the deceased's, and saw Mrs. Pellew come to her chamber window and throw it up. She had only her chemise on st did time. She then threw herself Leadloug out of the window. She (witness) was terrified at the dreadful sight, 'and shut her eyes till she heard the deceased fall upon the pavement. She then went to her, and directed that a cur grim should be leniently sent fur. She wee io a state of in. peusibility, and survived only an boor. 'rim Cormier said there could be no doubt of the deceased haring door the act herself, and very little of her being isisane of thellose ; bet it was the province of the Jury to 'determine. Verdict..." The deceased beleg insane threw herself out of a wiadow, sod thereby caused her death." POISONING. Yesterday an Inquisition was held before Chao. Jetnmett, Esq Coroner for Surrey, at the Sun Tavern, Nesringtou, on the body of Mr. James Tucker. Mr. Henry Bennett, surgeon, of Si. George's, Southwark, stated, that on the afternoon of the 26th inst. he was sent for is great baste to visit the deceased, who he was loionit ed bad takes something of a poisonous nature. He went to him instantly, and Inroad hoot io must excruciating agony; his extremities were cold, and in • death-like perspiration. He complained chiefly of horning polio* in the chest. Hav ing sent for an andidote, he questioned the deceased aa to lie cause of the dreadful effects be Ikea witueued, and ~.,.. - ,' ......... with great difficulty the young man said, " On Solaraly morning I went nut on some business, and as I was passing along Blackman-street, Southwark, I picked up a glue palter containing a ishite.powder, which I ibuttglit'aras Medicine, and thinking that it might do me good, a short time ago swallowed it, Ibis b'ue paper and the bill that was with it hi in sly . waisteost pocket." The decedised iris humble to say more; his pockets were searched, but on blue paper or bill was found. He administered to him a strong emetic, but it had no good *Bee, the poison was so we, y powerfuls He did not know positively what it was, but lie believed at was white arsenic. Mr. Jeremiah Abbott, of Newington, stated, that he lived next doer to the d d. 0a the 15th inst. he was called in to see him, in coutsrq f his mother informing him that he had taken somethings( a very powerful nature, which caused great pain and burning fu his stomach.

It was probable the deceased bad taken the powdere (WWI*. A more foolish act could nut have beet' corn-, bitted; bill if the Jury believed it to be true, they would **you by their verdict. Verdict —" Died front taking deleterious ingredients as a medicine, not knowing that it was poison." SUICIDE. Last night another Inquest was held at the Pftt's Held Tavern, to rites place, Great Gueldford-sereet,lackfriars road, before C. Jemmett, Esq. on the body of Mrs. Ano Reynolds, aged thirty, the wife of Mr. Reynolds, of Pot's: Vac,. Mr. Georgia Olding, surgeon, stated, that on Monday last, shoot noon, he was sent for to sifted the deceased, whom he rotted in a dying state, at the house of Mr. Lot k, he, uncle. He was informed that 814 bad taken poison, and which, from the internal pain she metered, he believed was the fact. He was thews, a tea-cup iu which was the remains of some i oxalic acid; and he was told she drank a quantity of it.— Her mouth, throat, and stomach were shockingly corroded; • the interior coat of the stomach was burnt so much, that it • was reduced to a black pulp. He used every means in hie power to destroy the effects of the poison, but without suc cess. Oxalic acid is so very subtle and deadly in its opera : lion, that unless an antidote is administered instantly after it is swallowed, it is sure to prove fatal. The deceased re mained three quarters of au boor is extreme agony, and then ezpirt d. Mrs. Sarah Lack, of Pitt's-place, stated that the deceased was her isiece. On Monday last she Invited her to come to dine with her, and when she entered the house she appeared very melancholy and in great dieter's of mind. She (wit- Deal) went out of the parlour for a few minutes, and on her return, the deceased exclaimed, " I have dome it, Annt."— She asked her what it was that she had done, on which she pointed to a cup on the mantlepirce, in which was a small quantity of white liquid, which she instantly stewed to • neighbour, who said it was poison. She sent fur a Surgeon, and before he arrived asked her what she had taken, but she was in such pain that she appeared ho be incapable of reply! init. She was of opinion the deceased was recently at then; of unsound mind. She had once before attempted to duffle . herself. Her domestic troubles were very great. Mrs. Ann Elevate stated, that the last witness came 26rtei . house on Mouday, and said that her niece had taken some. thing out of a cup ; she 'hewed her the remains of the liquid, and on tasting it she was satisfied that it was-poison. A sur geon arrived soon afterwards, but it was impossible to ren der any relief. Sloe emitted from her stomach dark fluid, which appeared putrid. She asked. the deceased bow she came to take the poison, and If she swallowed et in mistake fur salts. She replied with • great effort, and very distinctly, " Yh Kr.

SUDDEN DEATH. r A Coroner's Inquest was held last night before Mr. Shelton, *wooer, at the Red Lion Tavern, Aldersgate.street, on view Of th e body of Ann Pearce, of No. S, •Ideregate-street bolideage, • young woman about 33 yeses of age, who got her living by snakily ladies' cloaks for wholesale shops.

The Jury consulted fur a few minutes, and thee returned a verdict—VW/alio* of God. AWFUL C &TA STIIO PR IL —We have been favour ed with the perusal of a letter from • Gentleman near Kenmore, which gives the following account of a most melancholy and awful occurrence in that neighbourhood :—" I have now to give you an tic ' count of a moat melancholy event that took place hero to-day : I was going up to Sneem frit 'boat two o'clock, and just near the turn up to the glebe met Dr. O'Soiddvax. He passed me by. and as there waa•beavy 'hewer coming on, I ran ou and got hobo a house at Drimins. I had not bees there more than two minutes when I saw one of the brightest dashes of lightning that I ever noticed, which was immediately followed by a most tremen dous clap of thunder; and in a few minutes after some one paned by, saying, that a WOO had been killed near the Priest's house. I ran dawn there, and saw the poor Doctor stretched on the road. At first, I did not know him, his face was so disfi gured--his skull over his forehead had been beaten in, as if be had got a blow from • Hat stick on the brad ; his face was swelled and quite red; his lips were turned black, and the blood seemed driven •through his eyes. nose. and mouth; his whiskers and eye-brows were scorched, and he had several marks on his body, and particularly on the inside of his left thigh. His hat, breeches. stockings, and shoes were turn to atoms, and scattered on the road— ia short, such a spectacle was never seen. There were three or four persons with him at the time. but they e:caped unhurt. Mr. lisninuit and Joint were tweoty yards behind him, but they were so dazeltd by the flash that they did not see him when knocked down.

DISCUSSION OP MILITARY GRIEVANCE& • The following General Order by his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief appeared yesterday, pro hibitimf, under the severest penalties. officers of the Indian army from appealing through the press against any supposed grievance or injury, instead of seeking redress through the regular channel of applicstion to their military superiors. We owe it to our numerous military friends and correspondents throughout India. to republish this important docu ment without delay, and ft call their attention to its teuour. as well for their interests as OUT own. The following is the Order in question:— Extract from General Orders issued by his Excellency the Commaader-ia•Cbtef, dated " Head-Quarters, Calcutta, June 8, 1822. Comeender-in.Chief has observe.] with great dis satisfaction a practice indulged by officers, or by persons annmieg that character, of addressing anonymous cost` plaints to the public through the newspapers, ►espuctiag imagined professional grievances. It is visible the reader cannot assure himself that any particular case so stated is not fallaciously represented, through the inexperience, the mincomprehension, or the perverse view, of the writer; consequently the appeal 4 essentially devoid of any possible utility. But it is obvious that in this procedure the legiti mate 'sources of redress see neglected; so *hat the purpose must be to give a g I imptession of inattention, opprev *lemma, or injsstice, is those with whom the superintend ence of such concerns is lodged. The extreme mischief and improbity of these endeavours have probably not been perceived by the writers, whom the Commander in Chief is willing to regard as having yielded only to a mo mentary inconsiderateness. The habit, however, of an offi cer'. thus casting off his just end requisite dependance on his military superiors, most nut be permitted. The Com mander in Chief, therefore, in the strictest manner, prohibits officers from sending to the newspapers any such anonymous represeatattoos as are above described. Should a letter of that nature ►enceforth be traced to any officer (and means will be taken to make the discovery almost inevitable), the Commander in Chief will immediately submit to the Gover nor in Council the necessity of suspending the individual from duty and pay, while a solicitation is made to the Ho nourable Court for his entire removal front tbe service."— (Catesittis Jeered, June 11.) The indigo crops involve so many interests, that every thing concerning them becomes of import ance. It is rather remarkable that during all the late spring tides the water on tie dock-gauge, at Howrah, never rose higher than 15 feet 3 inches, till Monday and Tuesday, when it rose to 17 feet, making an additional height of et inches. This unusual height is doubtless to be attributed to the heavy falls of rain that have lately taken place, from which we are rather apprehensive that any de lay in gathering iu the indigo plant, tidy be at tended with loss in those districts that are first inr undated. However, the ride of the river here may be owing to a local cause only, and does not afford us sufficient data for conjecturing that this effect has been at all general, .or le particular that it ex tends to the upper provinces. The depth of rain that has fallen at Calcutta from Saturday at 6 p. m. to Monday at 1 p. In. is 10i iuches.—(Bois. Joist IL) CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ELECTION. TUESDAY EVENING. The Vice-Chancellor having adjourned the poll ing at three o'clock, it re-commenced at six, and continued till ten, when it was again adjourned till to-morrow. The polling went on briskly dur ing the whole day. his still quite imposstble to form any correct idea of tire numbest polled for each Candidate, but there is little demist that Mr. 'Linker is considerably at the head of this day'. poll. Mr. Scarlett is considered second; but it is expected that he will pull up to-morrow, as many Geutkruen of the Bar are yet to come down who will vote for him. His frieuds are still sanguine is their hopes of success, but unless he makes a great ex ertion to-morrow, I believe Mr. Banker will be the successful candidate. Lord Hervey, it is said. is polling a great number, and it is not thought Mr. Scarlett will be much ahead of him. It is ad mitted by all parties. that Mr, Scarlett would be the fittest person to fill the important office of He presentativ.e of the University ; but yet political feeliugs so much interfere that they would rather return any person, however incompetent in_ other respects, who happened to profess the same political creed, than a man of the greatest talent and most eminent reputation. In the course of the evening the students in the gallery, on seeing Mr. Scarlett address a few words in a low tone to the. Vice-Chancellor, probably thinking he was about to make a speech, began to stamp and evince some marks of applause, which so displeased the Vice-Chancellor that he immediately ordered the gallery to be cleared, and none but voters were admitted for the remainder of the even ing. This applause was • direct violation of the Vice-Chancellor's order. The following notice was posted up this morning in the Senate House : " No person is stilts petprleri is admitted to the gallery of the &nate House but upon this implied condition, *bat, being so admitted, he abstain from any expression of appro. balion or disapprobation, and any violation of this condition will be seriously punished. The Vies-Chancellor further most earnestly requests from all straugers she save forbear ance from asy expression of sentiment on their pars." WEDNESDAY. ' The polling commenced again this morning at ten o'clock. It was very slack till about twelve, when many of M►. Scarlett's friends arrived, prin. cipally Gentlemen of the Bar, amongst whom wets Mr. Bell and Mr. Hesld, of the Chancery Bar. Mr. Scarlilt, I understand, is pulling up, but Dot suffi ciently to outstrip Mr. Banker, who still continues a head. The contest, I believe, is now rather be tween Mr. Scarlet' and Lord Hervey, to know who will be second. The Tory party are too strong to admit even of a chance of defeat. The numbers cannot be known, from the mode of polling, till the conclusion, which, it is thought, will be about eleven o'clock to-night ; but it is not certain whe ther the numbers will be declared then or in the morning. There is not .even a conjecture here . upon the numbers polled for each of the candi dates; but it may be considered almost certain that Mr. Bunke' is still the first, and will be the suc cessful candidate. The inhabitants of the town seem to take bot little interest in the election. It was not expected that any persons would he admitted into the Senate house this morning, in consequence of the Students' having violated the Vice-Chancellor's order yester day evening; however, their exclusion last night wus considered • sufficient punishment, •ud they were again admitted this morning. To enliven the dullness of 'be election here, there tee Concerts, which began yesterchty evening, sod will continue till the election is over. Miss Pato n is the principal attraction.
