One frigate was sunk, and several smaller vessels of war, with the greater number of the convoy, were captured by the Greeks. In THE Sum of the 19th ult. we stated, on the authority of our Paris Correspondent, that the Emperor of RusslA intended to visit the writers of Bad-Ems, near the Banks of the Rhine. From the Moniteur and the Journal des Debats, we now learn that this report gains ground. If well founded, it would seem that his IMPERIAL MAJESTY is contemplating some political object or proceeding with reference to France and Spain, the execution of w hich would be facilitated by his journey to Bad-Ems. The suspicion certainly derives some strength and consistency from the alleged arrangement of his differences with the Porte, and from the assembly of Russian troops in the Grand Duchy of Warsaw. It is, however, proper to state that our Go vernment have no information to warrant the idea that Russia has any present in tention of entering into the war against Spain. Still, the report of the intended Imperial jour ney, which is current in the countries bordering on the Rhine, cannot but be deemed important Ili the present state of affairs. It is even pre tended that the pre`cise route of his IMPERIAL MAJESTY is correctly known. It is said that, in the middle of the summer, after his intend ed visit to Moscow, he will again quit his dominions. Ills IMPERIAL MAJESTY will repair In the beginning of July to , the Baths of Ems, situated in the Duchy of Nassau, a few leagues' distance from Coblentz, and near the banks of the Rhine. The EMPEROR will reside in the Castle belonging to the Baron DE STEIN, formerly Alinister of the Allied Powers, and Administrator of the Rhenish Provinces which were re-con quered from France during the last war. M. DE Rcernscnt Lb, of Frankfort, has, it is rumoured, received intelligence of this journey of the Em peror of RUSSIA, and has communicated the news to several persons. Apartments have been taken at Ems for the Hereditary Grand Duchess of SAxE-WElstAit ; and it is asserted that the Prin cess 'ORANGE, another sister of the Emperor of RUSSIA, Will also proceed thither, as well as the Grand Duke NICHOLAS and his wife, the daughter of the King of PRUSSIA. The King of WunzEranuno Intends going there, and the Prince DE MwriEnsuctt, the Austrian Prime Minister, also proposes to pass a portion of the fine season in his vast domains of Johaunisberg, its t he Duchy of Nassau, near the Banks of the Rhine. There will consequently be a numerous assemblage of Princes this summer at the Baths of Ems. " It has just struck" two of our contempo. 'arks, who very recently declared that the pe. c " ll ittrY bonds issued by the Constitutional Spanish . Government were " worth nothing more than the Paper on which they are written,"—it has just struck these Gentlemen that the engagements by co ntracted Spain with the English Govern. Merit would be found an obstacle to the accom- Plishment of the very honourable intention, as *toted in the Proclamation of the New Pro visional Junta for Spain, to annul all the po and adtninistrative acts of the present SPanish Government, in the event of the French invasion being crowned with complete success. im mediately on the appearance of the Proclama ti" of the Provisional Junta (see THE SUN of t he 18 th tat.), we took the same view of this sub- J"t3 a n d exposed the arrogance and folly of the Trio who had presumed with a stroke of their 11: 9 1 to annul political acts, to some of which (;rent Britain was a party !—We now rejoice t t ° find, that e v en the abettors of France th restoit " k g" " begi n , f or t h e fi rst t i me, to re that "en if the King of SPAIN should d ► to hi s be W ould ex former despotism, England act tF le rigid ful fi lment of every engage inept concluded with FERDINAND VII. during the ascendancy of the Cortes ; and, in their new. t mu h rn zeal for the interests of their own country, :I),,nriluelZioeneevden suggested that Ministers should u ne of upon th e su bj ec t i n P ar li ament th em, ,In ee after d dgravely viewing the titleati " in the new li g h t i n w hi c h i t h as so very Suddenly presented itself to him, says, "We -y Ye l ittle doubt but that, if a moderate art . p y tin i nto powe r i n S pa i n , it w ill confirm `'`e U bona fide engagements CONTRACTED WITH s ittIGNE R B BY TUE GOVERNMENT de facto LI P"— I Pai lls ther e f ore, has already obtained a ',sonar. ot itl i ljhiPl i over the bitt erest an d mos t f ana ti ca l ugo n er enemi es !

We have just received by express from Calais a private letter, which asserts, that Segovia has opened its gates to the French.—Segovia is dis tant about fifty miles from Madrid.—We are in clined to doubt the accuracy of this intelligence, of which, if true, we think that we must have been informed by a Telegraphic Dispatch.—The sur render of Segovia, however, forms a rat of the plan of the Spaniards. [FROM A CORRESPONDF.ST.] STOCK EXCHANGE, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this morning at 7981 ;at the latter price they remain steady up to this hour. The Express from Paris this morning brings last Monday's prices of the French Rentes, which are said to be 88 f. 50 c., and Spanish 40.—The rise of the French Funds has contributed to im prove our Market.—Letters direct from Madrid, of the 24th ult., received yesterday, state that preparations are making there by the inhabitants to receive the Dnke d'AN .

Lord BvitoN is said to have offered not only his fortune, but his personal service to the Greek Government, expressing his readiness to leave Italy for their head-quarters on the first inti mation. The remains of Lord Wm. GORDON are to be removed to-morrow morning from town, for interment in the family vault in Yorkshire.

ESCAPE OP DARING BURGLAR% AND THEIR RE CAPTURE.—Last night Islington was thrown into the greatest alarm, owing to the firing of pistols in one of the main tho roughfares, and the report that the police-officers were in pur suit of two persons concerned in the murder of Mrs. Richards, at CaMberwell. For the last three nights and days the officers, Pace, Handley, and Cooper, have been lying in the fields near Islington, watching for them, and last night, as they approached a field near the Britannia, a suspicious character rushed by them towards a skittle-grountl, and instantly Hicks and Gloyd were seen by the officers running along Britannia-row, the officers cried murder, and on Pace approaching the robbers, he fired, and the ball passed by the face of one, and the back of the others head, and Gloyd was, after a desperate resistance se cured. hicks escaped, but was taken this morning within a few miles of Tottenham. They were both examined this morn ing at Queen-square, and committed for the burglary. RonnEnrEs.—Monday night, between 11 and 12 o'clock, some thieves broke into the house of Doctor Atkins, near Euston-square, and carried off all his wearing apparel ;, they also broke open and robbed the footman's box. It is sup. posed they got in at the garret window, as it was found open, and escaped out at the staircase window, next the fields, there being a ladder set against it; all the tops of the adjoining houses were searched for them, but to no effect, but in a new building at the corner of the street, one of the Doctor's waist coat's was found. The robbers left a chissel behind them. —About four o'clock yesterday morning, the maid servant at Mrs. Loaf's, an elderly lady, residing at No. 1, Morgan place, Back-road, Islington, got up to wash, when she threw open the shutters of the parlour window and left them so; she returned to the parlour about seven, when she discovered that the sash had been lifted up, and that a brass-mounted writing desk, and a set of cut glass castors, with silver stands, had been carried off: Yesterday us Mason, one of the Bow-street, patrol, was shaving himself up stairs in his house, Little Russell street., Covent-garden, he heard a noise below as if some person had entered the house ; he instantly went down, halt' shaved, without coat or waistcoat, and with a razor in his hand. lie saw a fellow in the passage, who had entered by picking the lock of the street-door. On seeing Mason he ran off, but the latter pursued him razor in hand, and calling out " stop thief!"— the fellow, taking advantage of the state in which Mason ap peared, roared out " Murder ; for God's sake seize him—he is a madman wants to murder me." The passengers, thinking there was some truth in this, suffered the thief to escape a considera ble distance, but Mason meeting with some of his brother offi cers who recognized him, they kept up the pursuit and suc. ceeded in apprehending the offender. Awrtm OccuriumicE.---Two men having, quay. relied at Shepton, near Tavistock, they determined to end their dispute in a pitched battle; when one of the combatants, with horrid oaths and curses, Threatened to wreak his rancour in his rival's blood. Heaven, however, arrested his progress ; and, with curses on his tongue, he fell senseless to the ground I He was conveyed home, and medical aid procured, but in vain, his mouth which he hud so prostituted was Closed in eternal silence ! About three days after he died, without having uttered a single word from the time of the dreadful visitation.—( Dceoushiee Paper t ) , FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

The usual motley assemblage dropped in yesterday ; any thing, and every thing, that could bear a trace, were assembled together on Blincley-heath, Surrey, 2l miles from London.... The seconds were Harry Holt and Benj. Burn, for Crawley; and Eales and Scroggins, for Acton. Average betting 7 to 4 on Crawley. Round 1. Both hit blows away, and after an irregular clone both went down; but Acton, who was nearly a atone heavier, gave the fall, and he was cheered. 2. here a tremendous fight began by Acton placing first hit, which Crawley p a rried downwards, and pointed after breaking ground as if hit below the waistb a nd. A rally followed, and, after some exchanges of blows, Crawley grassed his adversary by a clean right-handed blow upon the Jaw, which produced also the claret from the corner of the mouth-2 to 1 on Crawley. 3. A rare round in science and in manhood. The men went up to each other's heads, and fought like a dog at a bull. Crawley placed two left-handed nobbers upon the head, but he was hit heavily upon the body in return, and in a rally there was some mischief done to each. Aft e r som e counter .hitting, Crawley was thrown, but both were down. 4. Crawley placed a right-handed blow (flush) upon his ad. versary's nob, and threw his left into the body. lie had not exactly his own way, his adversary was with him at work, and exchanged about equal hits, but they had not the force of those of Crawley, who was grassed with it hit, but not exactly a knock down. 5. Crawley had the best of A molly tally, b►tt he had the worst of the throw. 6. Crawley tscd his left hand very satisfactorily, but his adversary was with him in every movement, although his hit. tang was the less effective. In a manly stand-up rally, until the Piper had the command, Crawley went down with a slight blow. 7. Acton was bellows-nundbig, open-mouthed. Ile went wildly to work, and after having been ri obbed , for working too fast. he ran his adversary down. B. Crawley placed a heavy slap upon his adversary's head, and fell upon his blow. 9. This round Was a running one for Crawley. He measured his length well, timed him se lf, l et l oose with his le f t h an d , and scarified Acton's forehead. lie then broke his ground, and shewed himself a great general upon the retreating system.- 4eton rallied manfully; but the work was taken out of him.— Every organ seemed to want relief—the head was groggifled— and the man don e . 10. Acton made a very manly effort, and in spite of distress went up to his adversary s head. and f oug h t like a lion. B e placed a heavy right-h:m(lrd blow upon the kidneys, which stopped Crawley, and he wus thrown heavily upon the back of his head. _ _ --- IL Crawley, in disorder, hit out with the leflhand and missed. His second steadied him, and called out "lus crossiNg," mean. ing he was hitting blows away. Crawley fell upon his seat after a rally, in which many exchange blows were placed ; _he did not go down directly with a blow, but h e f e lt stupitied with the effects of hitting. 12. This round gave a guides to Acton. Ile stood up in a gore of claret, open-mouthed and all abroad. Crawley hit him three times on the head with the left hand, but Acton chewed himself a man, and returned hits. In the rally which ended the fight. Acton was hit to death, to use the phrase, but he stood up to receive the knock-down, which ended the tight, and he laid on the grass senseless to time. Crawley as the winner, is punished much about the body. A second pulley.hauky bloodless fight took place between Stockton and Aaron, a Jew, which was won by the latter.

AN Tam TENANT.---An English Gentleman, who was lately on a visitin Ireland, in the course of his rambling went into a miserable cottage, or rather hovel, in which he found a poor woman in a state of severe illness, with no Wm. panion but a pig. He condoled with her on her suffering, and thinking that the unmusical noises of liar grunting friend must be extremely annoying to her in such a situation, offered to re. move him. " Faith you'd better let the pig alone," said the woman, “he has more right to be here than I have, for he pays the rent." vi ; .

THE VICE-CHAN'CELLOR OF THE UNIVER SITY OF CAMBRIDGE. ( Continued from our Paper of yesterday. ) Mr. LITTLEDALE—i am on the same side, my Lords, w Mr. Serjeant Lens ; and, as I understand th e case, the question before your Lordships is this—Whether the election that has taken place ought to be " more burgensium," or one by a pre. vious nomination of the Heads of Houses ; it lies upon the per. son who applies to the Court for a mandamus to make out his own right : and ft will be a matter for dismission hereafter to say who ought to make the election which they have done.-- But, I submit, unless the person asking for this mandamus shews a title, he is not entitled to have the writ. Now he can only make out his right to have his election affirmed, either by the general law of the University—the common law, if I may say so—or by some Statutes of the University —or by some usage —or, perhaps, in a fowl!) way, namely, by a special 'direction, which will be insisted upon by the other side, by the special direction of the Senate, regularly assembled, directing the special mode of election. The first question which will arise upon that, will be—Whether they have power to m a k e that special direction ? an d, secon dly, Whether that will apply to the ease of Mr. Jephson, with regard to the common law of the University, that existed beftire the Statutes of the Univer sity ? By the affidavits on both sides it appears, that, according to the usual practice, every thing must be done by the Caput, the House of the Non-Regents, and the House of the Regents. Lord Chief Justice A iinpTT—l understand you to say, that all affairs are to be conducted by the Caput, the Non-Regents, and the Regents ? Mr. LITT LEDALE —Yes, my Lord. Lord Chief Justice AnnoTT—The Caput does not contain all the Heads of Houses ? Mr. LITTLEDALE-1;10, my Lord. Mr. Justice BAYLUY—The Caput consists of the Vice- Chancellor, and five persons elected every year. Lord Chief Justice AnnoTT —They constitute one House ? Mr. LITTL;DALE—Yes, my Lord, that is what I under stand. There- is a' Re g ent and a Non-reg e nt in th e C a p ut ; there is necessarily a Master of Arts in the Caput; there is a representative of Law, Physic, and Divinity, who together are called the Caput. Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT—Not professors of law, phy sic, and divinity ? Mr. LITTLEDALE—NO, my Lord, any person who is elected to represent them. Then the next mode of proceeding is pointed out by the 12th of Elizabeth, cap. 40. which has! provided for the election of all the lecturers, beadles, and other officers, whose election is not specially provided for either by that statute or by the University; it is there provided, that they shall be elected in the same mode as the Vice. Chancellor which is by a previous nomination, and then afterwards, are to be elected by the body at large ; this gentleman has not adopted this mode. Then ,my Lord, he says he has usage in his favour. Now, as far as usage goes, the records state no instance beyond 1723, of an election " more burgensium ;" but then the affidavits go to say this, that with regard to the five professorships, namely, music, chemistry, anatomy, botany, and mineralogy, they say since the time these persons were elected, there is no mention made of their having been previously nominated, and there being no such nomination to be found upon the records.-- bard Chief Justice Annwrr —Does that apply to the whole of them ? Mr. LITTLEDAT.E—No, my Lord, to chemistry, anatomy, and botany. As the records are silent as to there being a pre vious examination, they believe that they were elections more burgensium." - Lord Chief .Tustice ABBOTT—What do your affidavits say in answer to that, as it respects the elections prior to that time? Mr. Lys. T LEDALE—We do not know, my Lord, which way it was. We do not deny it, but with regard to their end savour to raise a question upon these instances, your Lordships will find that they do not state there is any such custom where there is no special provision for the election that it should be " more burgensium ; ' all they swear is, where the records are silent, that they believe the mode of election has been " inure burgen sium," but they do not swear that the custom of the Uni ver sity has been, in case of a new Professorship being appointed, for the election to be 44 more burgensium ;" how therefore they can en title themselves to argument front usage I cannot conceive, for the professorship to this case was only made in 1816, and no person was nominated but one person, who was specially ap pointed by grace ; they do not attempt to swear to the exist ence of such a usage in the University at large, and so far front there being such usage with regard to modern Professors, their own affidavits negative it, for they admit, that one of the pro fessorships named was always by grace ; that is, by the corn mon law of the University ; therefore, as they say, usage can only apply to the Professorships of chemistry, anatomy, and botany, and which they wish to extend to mineralogy. Then, my Lord, they say this—they do not swear to usage, or prove that there was any particular direction in the graze which directs the appointment of a new Professor, that they are entitled to have this mode of " more burgensium" election, but the words of the grace being " a vobis eligatur," they eon. ! tend that they mean A • more burgensium" election. Now, my Lord, they are contradicted by the very proceedings that have taken place with respect to the professorship of mine ralogy itself, without taking any notice of the other officers of the University ; "placeat vobis ut idem, E. D. Clarke, professoris mineralogiai titulo sulfragiis vestris co. honestetur ;" that is, the grace appointing Dr. Clarke professor of mineralogy. It might as well said, that there ought to have been n new election, more burgensium," after that grace passed, for the language is " placeat vobis ut idem E. 0. Clarke, professoris mineralogise titulo suffragiis vestris co honestetur ;" they might have said he ought to be appointed by " auffragiis vestris," and that this grace was merely recom mending Dr. Clarke to the Professorship. Now the words are in the. following grace, "a vobis eligatur," and they might as well say, that the words " suffragiis vestris" were meant merely to recommend hint to the University, as that " a vobis eligatur" means the University at large. Itlr. Justice BAYLEY—Then, after the grace, would you have the nomination of him, and somebody else by the Heads of the Houses ? Mr. LITTLEDALE—If they proceed in that way, they must either cleat him, or some other. I only mean to say, that the words " suffmglis vestris," which are here used, do not mean " more burgensium." I understand, my Lord, that the mode of _proceeding is this : the grace is first taken to the Caput -32 r. Justice BAYLEY—Does it not proceed from the Caput? LITTI.XUALIE—No, my Lord ; it proceeds from the person who hands it in. • The form of the grace which is pre. sented to the Caput is, " Placeat vobis," on which they write "Placet," and then it is taken to the House of the Non-re gents and to the House of the Regents, and they also write upon, it " Placet ;" so that there are three distinct appr obations of the grace, at each of whi c h t h e y wr i te " Pl acet ; and the form is the rune in all. Mr. Justice Ilairi.vv—ln the ordinary elections, do the members of the Caput vote at all, I,n the same manner as the Repnts and Non-regents ? Mr. IsITTLEDALE—VCS, my Lord; so that if I wanted a grace, for instance, for the appointment of a n ew professor in the room of Dr. Clarke, I write, as it is written here, " Pia cent vobis ut alius ad idem iuunus exequendum a vobis eliga tur," and which I address to the six persons who constitute the Caput, after they have signed it ; it is then presented to each of the other Houses, who also sign it ; so that it is in feet merely a determination or approbation which the three Houses give to that which I request. They write " Placet" upon it; I write "n vobis eligatur ;" it is I who write that, the Caput and the Regents and the Non-Regents do not say " a vobis eligatur," but merely " Placet," that is, the grac e b e i ng I addressed to them, they say another person shall be appointed to the vacancy which then exists. Mr. SoLtetToe-GENratat.—The form of the grace alp- pears upon the affidavit; I only wish to state, that whet my Learned Friend is now saying I understand is not correct ; i t does not appear upon the affidavits, and therefore no argument can he raised upon it; I am told it is not correct. Mr. LIT TLEDALE—It comes to the same thing; the Ciiptit must be unanimous. Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL—I am told that the effect of the thing is, that the whole " Flaceat vobis" is the Act of the Senate. Mr. Justice DAYLEY--it does not appear by the affidavits. Mr. SOLICITOR.OENERAL—No, my Lord, the interpre tation which Mr. Litdedale has given to it, I say, is not war. ranted by what appears upon the affidavits. 'My Learned Friend is laying so much stress on this point, anti arguing it with so much earnestness, that believing the fact to be in correct, I feel it my duty to interrupt him. Mr. LITTLEDALE...-I say it is carried to the different Houses, and they write upon it " Placet ;" this form existed before the election "more burgensium" was ever thought of; it appears that the time when that mode of election was intro. (laced, was when James the Fir s t di rec t e d B urgesses to b e elected, and they were elected by the Senate at large, without previous nomination ; but the form to which I have been at. hidi all. ng took place longbefor e thi s ot h er mo d e h a d any ex i stence at Then they say " a vobin eligatur" means the same thing as " more burgenemm." lr, Serjeant liens has pointed out a great many instances, where the words are " a voids electus,' and by you chosen, which shew that these cases apply to officers who are not elected " more burgensium," but by the Heads of Colleges, and afterwards confirmed by the body at large k and therefore, this mode of Klection does not apply to the laxly at large, but only-aceottling to the pudettlat nuttier which is) in the discretion of the Senate. The term "a vobis eligatur," may ; be either. the approbation of the , Caput, and the Oyu Houses, the Re g ent s an d N on- R egents, or "I Houses, qtlis eligatur" may. apply to the nomination'of the Unliereilf at large, or it may be " more burgenteure," but he may in stances they apply. where there has been it previous - nomination. With respect to the case of Mr. Jephsten, 1 apprehend that he has not made out a title on his own side, and die, le' may be expected, though it lies upon him t o m a k e out hie Men 'case, that we should shown ,some mode of proceeding inetmeistent with what he considers . fo be the duty 'of etre . namely, to be appointed to this profeseuitthio.• We say the mode in which.he ought to proceed is poiiit.e:)" out in the 40th chapter. of the 12th of Elizabeth, which peciittee'ibt 'the' fu ture election of Lecturers and all other offieers whose s- eleCtion had not been specially provided for by,the statutes ,or by the fbundation of the person who founds the prefeseor'ship..- If it is not provided for by the statutes or by the private foundet?Ort, the election shall be in the manner that the Vice Cinutiellor is elected. First, they say that that Stattste does not apply to new offices ; I apprehend, my Lords, that it is the genera ! l a w' *herb-there is an exemption i t need not be shown that thee:thee ••eitisted immemorially. I should refer your Lordships upon this point to the case of Wilkes v. Williams, Bth Term Reporee page 631, where the question arose upon a plea in abatement to the jurisdiction of the Court, by a person who claimed theptivi lege of being an officer of the Court of Chancery, and was therefore exempt ; the Court held it was good. The ease of Rex v. Warner was there referred to, which was a case pf a customhouse officer, and he was held to be exempt from the office of overs eer o f the poor, though'it was an office created by Statute within the time of legal memory ; so again with re gent to prescription and custom about highways, where there is a prescription, that a particular township shall repair certain highways • so again in Doctor Keton' s Et on 1 allowship, which is 'idly reported in Sir William Blackstone's Reports, page 71; it was there held, that the Statutes of the College were to apply to the new Fellowships ; in all those instances it appears that if any new office is created it is to be bound by the old rule. Another reason they give why this Statute does not extend to this case is, that it only uses the word " Lectorea ;" now we have strewn many instances where that went applies to Professors. Lord Chief Justice A uno•rr—Does that appear to be so when the statute was made ? Mr. LITT I...Eimer—Yes, my Lord, those were the five Regius Professorships then existing, theology, civil law, medi cine Greek and H e b rew ; t h ose were founded by King Hen r y VIII. and there is a Statute called 1)e Tribute Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT—Where is that ? Mr. leiermt naLE—lt is the statute of Trinity College, Mr. Justice DAT' LEY—It is chapter 4, "Dc temporibue lee tionum et libris prat legendis." Ido not see the Divinity Pro fessor mentioned. Lord Chief Justice ABBOT T—Theologicue pteelector. Mr. LITTLEDALE—And he, my Loral, is a Professor of Divinity ; and in the Statute of Elizabeth they are used indii criminately, you will find, in the 4th Statute— Mr. Sergeant LENS—The 4di Statute was one which! meant to refer your Lordships to, but I forgot it. Mr. LITT etenat.e--.ln chapter 4, page 227, you will find, that those are called " Lectures," who are professors—the pro. heeler of philosophy is called " Philosoplucus Lector ;" when we come to the profeseor of mathematics, there it is " Mathe maticus Professor," which is the same as Lector. Lord Chief Justice A uncoer —The philosophical, lecturer is a professor of physic, is he a regius professor Mr. A enrusofe—ln some cases, any Lord, be is a regius professor. Lord Chief Justice A n DOT 'r —The professor of mathematics, what is he ? Mr. LITTLEDALE—IIC is one of the Earnaby lecturers. Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT—The pra'lector of thetoric e is he one of the liarnaby lecturers? Mr. LITTLEDA LE— Ves, my Lord. Lord Chief Justice AunoTT—The professor of logic, is he a Barnaby lecturer ? Mr. LITTLE DA LE—Yef. my Lord, so that the terms appear to be indffibrently used; with regard to the anatomical professor, he is called a lecturer. Lord Chief Justice A nnoTT—And in some cases he is called professor. Mr. LITTLEDALE—Ves, my Lord. Then, it appears by the grace of 17115, in order to appoint a lecturer of ana, tomy, they use these words: " slay it please that this con. vocation be turned into a congregation in order to appoint a lecturer in anatomy ;" and then, my Lord, Placeat vobis tit in alectionem prwlectoris anatomi," so that he is here called prrelector, and, in other instances, your Lordships will find he is called " professor." Mr. Justice BAYLEY—IS the professor of Hebrew a regius professor ? LITTLEDALE—Yes, my Lord, he is mentioned in ►tatute 3. Mr. Justice BAYLEY—The Greek professor, is he a.regiut professor ? Mr. LITTLEnALE—Yeg, my Lord. In speaking of his professorship in the Statute he is called a lecturer; ttierefbre, my Lord, it appears that in all these Statutes the words lee. tor" and " professor" are used indiflirently. Lord chief Justice A suoY T—ln 1702, the grace appointing the professor of chemistry is in , these words: " Placeat vobis ut dictus 'famines Francisco* vigarii titulo professoris chynthe;" then, in 1718, by the same words; in 1758, by the same words then in 1794 Sir. }'errish is called pi-elector ; then, in 1111::, Smithson Tennant is called professor, and, in 1815, JaSob Cumming is called prtelector. Mr. LITTLEDALE—SO that it appears they are sometimes called the one and sometimes the other. Lord Chief Justice AItBOTT—..SO in the professorship of anatomy in 1703 he is called professor; then in 1753 lector; 1785 they are to appoint a lecturer; and, in 1817, he is styled professor again. Mr. LITTLEDALD—i am told that the only two possible objections to the mode of proceeding under the Statute, . are, that it does not extend to new offices, or that it is to be confitil to the Burnaby professors, and does not extend to lecturers'.. Now, it appears that these words, ".professor" and " lector," are indiscriminately used ; as a consequence, therefore, the word there used must include professors as well as readers. Then they say again that this Statute is in fact interpreted' by Lord Burleigh's letter, that he there speaks only of complaints which had been made as to the election of annual officers—cer tainly the complaints were made only as to them—the *des: sorships then existing being only w ith t h e exception'of the Lady.3largaret's professorship of divinity, the Barnaby.PMfes sorships of philosophy, rhetoric, logic, and mathemat ics, and the five regius professorships of theology, civil law, medicine, Greek, and Hebrew, the four Barnaby professorship s , and t h e other five professor ships, were specially provided tor hy the foundation, and so was the Lady Margaret's professorship_ therefore these being all provided for, the complaint which came before Queen .Elisabeth could only extern d to the annual offices—but the letter does not import that the other professor ships were excluded—the letter states that coniplaints hatfbeen made, and the argument attempted ,to be raised upon it im petus to be sufficiently answered by shewing, that those were the only professorships to which Lord Burleigh's Letter could sp. ply, or against which complaints could be urged. I will not trouble your Lordships with any thing More upon the subject, as to whether the Court has the power to grant a mandamus or no ; we only wish to knol, whether your Lord ships think it is within your jurisdiction —we submit that by the Statute where a matter is in &Ida, it shall be decided by the University ; I apprehend that is the only questioa in this case as to the argument on the words "a vohim eligatur," I trust a satisfactory answer has been given. —With these obser vations I leave the ease in your Lordship's hands, Mr. ALDERSON rose to address the Court. • Lord Chief Justice AunoT•r—Are you on the lame•gide, • r. Alderson ? Mr. Atim itsow—Yes, my Lord. 'Lord Chief J ustice AnnoTT—ls there any other Gent Wino with you ? . . Ali..4.l..ornsow—NO, my Los& • Mr. A - in LIMN commenced his address. Lord ChielJitaticeAUUOTT—Will your argument go to any length. Sir. At.nrnsom-1 really do not know how long, my Lard. Lord Chief Justice Annovr—As the Jury are in wailing, we had better postpone this till to-morrow morning. (To we continurd-.)
