Tho sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es timated at 5,000 bales, 1,000 of which w( re taken for export and on speculation. The market closed steadily.— Railway Shares were firm, and prices bad improved. The expected increase in the amount of bullion held by the Bank of England occurred during the week to the 6th instant, and among the other indications of the abundance of money was a great addition to the deposits and a slight curtailment of the advances upon Stock. Every feature of the return corresponds to what was observable prior to the late revolution at Paris, and the accumulation of assets must, ere long, revive the ques tion of the maintenance of the existing rate of discount. Compared with the previous week, the changes are as follows: Notes Issued ... Increase ... ..• 29,902,930 ••• 367,170 3„ 126 495 ...

The export of silver from London direct during the week to Thursday last 40,033 ounces, chiefly to Hol land. No gold was shipped. The mercantile laters received this morning contain no important news, but at Paris and Amsterdam the Bourses were animated. At Hamburgh the exchange last Tuesday rose a little, viz., 13, 51.

The inquiry was opened before Francis Barlow, B‘q., one of the Commissioners of Lunacy, the writ being issued out by the friends . of th e un f or t una te gentle man. After a protracted investigation the jury returned the following verdict :—" That John Griffiths Beavan is of unsound mind, and has been so from the Ist day of June, 151." MIDLAND COUNTIES CATTLE SHOW.—The total number of visitors to this show during the week has been upwards of 40,000. Its success is placed beyond all doubt. The dinner took place last night, and passed off with much éclat. Lord Lyttelton presided, and Messis. Spooner and Scholefield and the Mayor of Birmingham were the principal speakers. LONDON, CAPE OF GOOD HOPE PLYMOUTH, DEC. 12.—The General Screw Steam Navigation Company's ship Propotis, Captain Glover, arrived here at one o'clock this morning from the Cape of Good Hope, which colony she left on the sth of November, thus making a very fine passage in about thirty-three days. The news is in a great measure anticipated by the Teviot, which exchanged journals with the Propontis, at St. Vincent's. The accounts brought home by this steamer, it will he seen, are on the whole of a more satisfactory cha racter than that brought by the last mail. It is sup • posed, however, that the Governor-General has sent home for additional forces, and a large number will be required to put a final stop to the war. Our troops have been engaged in several hostile encounters with the Kafirs, in all of which they were completely successful, at a very trifling loss on our own part, though we regret to state that amongst the wounded were Lieutenant _ Norris, of the 6th Regiment, who has since died; Captain Addison, of the 2d, who was wounded severely ; and Ensign Rickets, of the 91st, who was dangerously wounded. The number of Kafirs killed was estimated at five hundred. Captain Austen, of the 731 Regiment, was killed by a fall from hi 3 horse; but not in action. (From the Supplement to the Cape Town Mail a November 4.) MONTHLY SUMMARY. At the date of the latest news recorded in our last summary, the mass of hostile Kafirs and Hottentots, estimated at more than 6,000 in number, were within the colony, divided into twu bodies, the one posted in the Fish River Bash, about thirty miles north-east of Graham's Town, and the other in the Waterkloof, about fifty miles north-west of that town. The enemy in the Fish River Bush were watched on the west by Lieut.-Colonel Eyre, who, with a force of nearly 500 men, covered Graham's Town ; on the south by Major Wilmot, with a small detachment at Fort Peddie ; and on the east by patrolling parties sent from King William's Tewn. Several skirmishes have taken place between these detachments and various maraud ing parties of the enemy; the latter have invariably been repulsed, but no important success has been gained over them, except in oue instance. A body of about 800 Kafirs and Hottentots attempted on the 21 ult. to drive off several thousand cattle and sheep from the vicinity of Fort Brown. Major Horne, who was in command at that post, immediately sallied out with the force at his disposal—about 220 men, chiefly of the 12h Regiment and the Fingo Levy—routed the plunderers, killed ten of them (many more being carried away wounded), and recaptured nearly all the spoil—this being effected with no serious casual ties among the troops. No attack has been lately made upon the main body of the enemy in the Fish River Bush. The efforts of our troops have been directed mainly against the large body under the chief Macomo, in the strong fastness of the Waterkloof. On the 12th ult. Major- General Somerset marched towards this stronghold, with a force of about 3,000 men, composed of regular troops of the 2d, 6th, 12th, 74tb, and 91st regiments, the Royal Artillery, and Cape Mounted Rifles—of mounted volunteers from Graaff-Reinet and Fort Beaufort—and of the First Corps, Beaufort West, and Fingo levies. On the 14th, and again on the 16th, the Waterkloof was penetrated in different directions by the two brigades under Lieut.-Colonels Michel and Fordyce, and by other corps detached by the Major-General. All accounts agree in describing the operations of the troops as conducted in a masterly and most effective manner, evincing equally the skill and coolness of the commanders and the bravery of the troops. The result was, that after several hours of hard fighting on both days the enemy was com pletely driven out of the Waterkloof with heavy loss, his whole camp being destroyed. The fugitives, how ever, took refuge in the neighbouring valleys of the Blinkwater and Fuller's Hoek, where they were again attacked on the 23d ult., and, after some sharp fighting, once more routed and dispersed. The detached bands continued to cling to the fastnesses about the Kromme Height, and prepara tions were making, at the last accounts, for another movement against them on the 25th. In the engage ment of the 23d the 60th Rifles were present, and their destructive fire, as well as the skilful practice of the Artillery, had a great effect in dismaying the enemy. The Cape Mounted Rifles, under Captain Carey, are stated to have rendered very valuable ser vice in the engagement of the 14th, charging the enemy three times in the most effectual manner. The conduct of all the corps engaged is highly praised by General Somerset. The loss of our troops on the 14th and 16th is offici ally reported at 6 killed and 26 wounded. Among tbe latter were Lieutenant Norris, of the 6th Regi ment (since dead), Captain Addison, of the 2d, severely, and Ensign Rickets, of the 91st, danger ously wounded. On the 23d, our loss was 3 men killed (of the 60th Rifles, and 74th Highlanders) and 5 wounded. The number of Kafirs killed is stated by some at as high as four or five hundred. During the past month the district of Albany has been in a great measure preserved from the marauding incursions of the enemy, through the protection afforded by the detachments under Colonel Eyre, Major Wilmot, and Major Horne. But in others of the frontier districts very heavy losses have been suf. fered by the farmers. On the 3d ult. no less than 5,000 sheep and nearly 300 cattle belonging to Com mandant Pringle and other colonists resident at and ❑ear Lyndoch, in the Somerset district, were swept off in a single day by a party of Macomo's Kafirs, about 300 in number. The owners mustered about forty of their neighbours, pursued the marauders, and attacked them, but were unable to recover any of tbe spoil. Two colonists were killed in this unfortunate affair. On the 16th of September the Tambookies, in a body of nearly 2,000 men, made a descent upon Upper Victoria and Cradock, and swept off several thousand sheep and a large number of cattle, killing ten of the Fingoes who guarded them. The farmers in that quarter, finding themselves unable to with stand these inroads, have begun to retire to the west ward with all their moveable property. At the last accounts it was estimated that a hundred thousand sheep, belonging to the retreating farmers, had been driven through the town of Cradock. The Tambookies have also recommenced their incursions into the district of Albert, and have car ried off some hundreds of cattle. Several colonists have been killed in these attacks. Five of the most influential Burgher commandants of the frontier districts, Messrs. Pringle, Heugh, Erasmus, Bouwer, and &wiser, have called upon their fellow-colonists to assemble on the 30th inst., at Post Relief, for a grand combined movement, with the object of driving the pltinderers from the colony and following them into Kaffraria. In the Orange River Sovereignty affairs remain in a very unsatisfactory state. The farmers, being anxious to put an end to the confusion which prevailed in the province, took upon themselves to make a separate convention with the Basuto chief, Moshesh —each party agreeing to refrain from molesting the other. The British Resident expressed his disap proval of this arrangement, but admitted that while the disparity between his forces and those of "the enemy" remained so great, it was necessary that defensive measures should be strictly observed. The two companies of the 45th Regiment, and the 600 Zulus, who were sent from Natal to the aid of the Resident in the sovereignty, were still in the latter province. The Zulu warriors were much discontented at having nothing to do. At a recent review of this force by the Resident at the town of Bloem Fontein, the following singular colloquy is reported by the local papers to have taken place : " The Zulu chief asks first—' Why are we here ?' He then stated—' We have left our fields unprotected, our cattle without herds, and our young men have left service, where they were earning money, to obey the command of the Lieutenant-Governor Pine. We cannot afford to sit still. We therefore want to be up and doing.' " The British Resident answered—" I thank you for coming to our aid. I want you to go and see Moroko (chief of the Borolongs), who is a great friend of mine, and a good man. Moroko also wishes to see you. The beers are very bad, and so are many of the English, even in this town. If they tell you anything against Moroko, do not believe them, but tell them they are liars." The Natal Witness informs us that this "com mando" of Zulus, on first leaving Natal, numbered about 1,000 men. They , had been assured that a reinforcement of twenty Natal farmers (hoers) would join them ; but finding themselves deceived in his expectation, about 400 deserted and returned home. In the attempt made by the officers to check this desertion, one Zulu, it was stated, was killed, and another wounded. The taligled web of South African politics has been still further perplexed by the interposition of a new and rather potential influence. The indepen dent community of emigrant boers beyond the Vaal River, who have hitherto held aloof from the present disturbances, have at length made a movement, pro fessedly with a friendly object. Some of the farmers within the British territories, together with the chief, Mosbesh, are said to have called upon the well-known Pretorius, commandant-general of the emigrants, to interfere for the restoration of peace in the sove reignty. In accordance with this request, and with the subsequent instructions of the council of his com monwealth, Pretorius addressed a letter to the British Resident, expressing the desire of the emigrants to conclude a " lasting treaty of peace" between them selves and the British Government, and also to try " to prevent this unfortunate war and de solation which are on the point of occurring" in the sovereignty. Major Warden returned a proper reply to this letter, declaring that he would with muc h pleasure forward to the High Commissioner any communications which might assist in bringing about the objects which the emigrant farmers had in view ; but warning them that " while the British Go vernment is ever desirous to cultivate the friendship of all, it will never tolerate uncalled-for interference in any portion of the Queen's dominions." In this position the affair at present remains. It is al yet doubtful in what light the Commander-in- Chief will regard the proceedings. It has been au thoritatively stated that the two Assistant-Commis sioners (M. , _ssrs. Hogge and Owen) are shortly to proceed to the sovereignty with a force of no less than 1,500 men, for the purpose of settling the affairs of that province. The propriety of sending so large a force to such a distance from the principal theatre of war, fur no apparent object, has been seriously questioned. A Natal paper states that the beers of the blip River district, in Natal, being alarmed at their de fenceless position since the troops bad been sent by Lieutenant-Governor Pine to the Sovereignty, and being disquieted by some rumours respecting the hostile intentions of the Zulu chief Panda, sent to Pretorius to solicit his interference. Pretorius thereupon sent word to Panda that if he made any attack upon Natal, he (Pretorious) "would be down upon him and sweep him from the face of the earth." Pauda immediately dispeched an ambassador to Lieut -Governor Pine, professing nio:t amicable dis psitions, and r(questieg that the Lieut.-Governor would un-et him at the Tugela to establish peaceful role ions. It thus appears that the community of emigrant farmers in the interior, some ten or twelve thousand in number, are able not only to defend themselves from the neighbouring tribes, but also to interpose their good offices for the protection of the British settlements. Their friendly conduct is the more re• markable, inasmuch as the two provinces which they are no N undertaking to protect (the Sovereignty and Natal) were their own original settlements, from which they have been successively driven to their present territory. At their last expulsion from the Sovereignty, three years ago, by Sir 11. Smith, Pre torius was proclaimed a traitor and an outlaw, and a reward of 1,0001. was offered for his capture ! and this proclamation has never been recalled, although Pretorius is now in amicable correspondence with the British Resident. The last reinforcements which arrived in this colony from England, namely, the 12th regiment of Linters, and the 21 battalion of the 60th Rifles, have lately reached head-quarters. The Rifles have just taken the field for the first time, under General Somerset. It is reported that the Lancers (who are not yet com pletely mounted) will form part of the force that is to be sent to the Sovereignty. Some hundreds of colonial volunteers (mostly Hot tentots) have lately been sent to British Kafraria from the west, and have taken the places of about the same number who have been discharged and sent to their homes. Some rather important political events have oc curred in the past month. The nominee Legislative Council, which has been imperfect and in abeyance since the resignation of the popularly nominated mem bers in October, 1850, has been again filled up, in ac cordance with instructions from home. Some difficulty was experienced in effecting this pur pose, owing to the extreme disrepute into which the office of nominee councillor has fallen. Of the five new members, three are ordinarily resident in or near Cape Twin, and one in Swellen dam. • None of them are expected to offer a very strenuous opposition to any measure which the local officials might think proper to press. Apprehensions have consequently been entertained that the Council, instead of proceeding immediately to establish the promised Constitution, would undertake the work of ordinary legislation, in opposition to the general wish, and to what was understood to be the intention and promise of the Colonial Minister. Protests against such a course have been numerously signed in several of the western districts. The Swellendam protest was brought to Cape Town by a deputation of about sixty of the most respectable landed proprie tors of the district, who rcde a distance of more than 150 miles for this purpose. The misrepresentations which have been made with regard to the alleged apathy and "dogged indifference" of the farmers have been acutely felt, and have called forth these _demon strations of sentiment on their part. The Secretary to Government has, however, declined to receive these documents, on the ground that "no Government can receive a protest." At the first meeting of the newly-formed Council, drafts of five ordinances were laid before it by the Se cretary to the Government—one for amending the tariff of wharfage-dues in Table and Simon's Bays, another for raising a loan of 40,0001. for the repair of colonial prisons, a third for altering certain regula tions of the Dutch Reformed Church, a fourth for removing squatters from Government lands, and the fifth for enabling the commissioners of inquiry into the Kat River rebellion to summon witnesses, punish for nea-attendance, and take evidence on oath. All these measures have been very strenuously objected to by various parties as not necessary or proper to be considered at the present time, or by any other than an cic-ctire Colonial Legislature. At the second meeting of the Council, en the 31st of October, the important information of the arrival of the Constitutional Ordinances from England was given. But by some unaccountable neglect, the ne cessary authority for reading these ordinances in council had not been obtained from the Governor, and it has therefore been necessary to transmit them to his Excellency for his formality—thus causing a need less delay of probably two weeks. From the infor mation which has found its way to the public con cerning the nature of the proposed form of Colonial Government, there is reason to believe that it will be satisfactory to the colonists. This impression is general at present ; and the desire which is conse quently felt, under the present circumstances of the colony, for the early establishment of the new Consti tution, and the prompt convocation of the Parliament, is naturally very great.

MARY HOWITT'S NEW WoßK.—The new work entitled "Jacob Bendisen, the Jew," from the Danish, by Mary Howitt, will, doubtless, be found attractive, no less from the interest of the story itself, than from the entire novelty of its characters, sc enes, and incidents. Mrs. Howitt says in her preface, "At the moment when we are searching into the social and moral condition of all classes, a faithful tran script of the life and feelings of the Jews cannot fail of being welcome. These pages unlock, as it were, that mysterious and sealed book„ the heart of the Jew, and enable us to perme the history of a human soul, which is as interesting as it is new, at the same time that it makes us familiarly ac quainted with the domestic life, manners, and feelings of a portion of the community, which is in general as little known as if it belonged to another hemisphere."

An other resolution was agreed to, directing" the payment of the sum of 5,8001., pun-tient to an agreement between the said Henry Rains, the Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers, and the Bermondsey Improvement Commissioners, dated August 12, 1851." SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 13, BM. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mini;zy Journal of this day.) Tho business transacted durihg the past week, although on not so extensive a scale as the preceding, is yet of a very satisfactory character-the attention be stowed by capitalists upon the market being of a con stantly growing character. So far as prices are con cerned dividend mines have remained with scarcely an alteration in their value, and for several others of this class there are strong inquiries, which indicate improve ment in the lodes. Select speculative mines have also been largely dealt in at improved rates, and altogether very healthy indications exist, both satisfactory for the present and cheering for the future. In the Metal Market-Copper is very firm, with a steady sale. Lead fully maintains its improve-d cha racter. English Tin is in good request, and a rise in price fully expected. Foreign is in steady sale. Spelter has somewhat declined. In the Bullion Market-Mexican and South American dollars, buyers at 4s. 1. per cz.

The market La the Californian golf mining shares has been very str.ady diming the week; and, on the whole, there has been a slight tendency towards improved quotations for several descriptions--the decline fram the high rat es o f premium previously current tempting pur- Fhasers. It is vrell known that many persons prefer pay ing a moderate rate of premium on the starting of un dertakings like these Californian adventures rather than is apply for shar es and sign the deed, where such re quired.

UNI _VERSIT TELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, 1)' EC. Il.—A t the Congregation yes' terday the degree o f LL B . was conferred--upon Mr. Wiiliam Sh •re, of Trir:ity REVISION Or THE STATUTES. The follo%s ing important n - dport h as been this day issued : " The SYNDICATE appointed by GRACE of she SEN A TE ALAI Ch 7, 1849, and renewed Much 15, 1850- anT7- egain March 19, 1851, to revise the STATUTES the UNIVERSITY, and to report to the SENATE, "Beg leave to state that tt.ey have taken the utmost pains to fulfil the task entrusted to them; and yet in a work of so great extent an I so varied a character they can scarcely permit themselves to indulge the hope that they have succeeded in all particulars. " Having in the first instance revised the statutes with reference to existing and authorised practice, the syndics afterwards proceeded to the consideration of propositions involving more important changes, which are all severally specified in the present statement. In order to insure to the members of the Senate the best means of judging of all these alterations, and to onable them to see everything in its proper place and due connexion, a draft of the statutes has been printed, which represents the form they would bear if all the proposed alterations were adopted. " After the opinions of the Senate have been ex pressed on all points, the syndics are ready to apply themselves to the correction of the draft in accord ance with those opinions, so that it may finally be submitted in its amended form to the judgment of the Senate. " Many objects of academical legislation are of so fluctuating a character, that however expedient it may be that they should be regulated by general and esta blished ordinan ces , ye t i t i d b y no means advisable that those ordinances should have the permanent na ture of statutes. Care, therefore, has been taken that while the new code is drawn up so as to recognise the validity of such ordinances, resting on graces of the Senate, the Senate shall have a free power of altering or abrogating them, whenever it . may be deemed ad visable to do so. " On the other hand the syndics have incorporated with the proposed statutes certain graces, to which it seemed to them desirable to give a more permanent character. In many cases, as with respect to forms of proceeding, this was quite unavoidable; in others the syndics have been guided by a sense of the real advantages which result to all corporations from the permanence of laws enacted for the preservation of order and uniformity ; an object more than ordinarily essential to the well-being of a corporation, such as is the University, comprehending within itself many distinct and independent communities. " The syndics beg leave to suggest that, when the new body of statutes is completed and ratified, a col lection of ordinances, which resting on graces of the Senate have not been embodied in the new code of statutes, yet which it is desirable should remain in force until reversed by the Senate, should be made and printed, in order that the whole law by which the University is to be regulated may be exhibited and known. " The syndics, induoed by a consideration of the inequality and oppressiveness of compounders' fees, have recommended that they should no longer be exacted. The adoption ' of this recommend a tion alone would make it necessary that the whole subject of fees should be reviewed ; which is also desirable on other accounts. " The syndics beg leave to recommend that graces should be offered to the Senate for the introduction of the following laws and regulations into the proposed new body of statutes. " 1. That, for keeping of a term, residence during ,wo-thirds of the term shall be necessary. " ARTS. " 2. That every person proceeding to the degree of Bachelor of Arts shall be required to keep, by resi dence in the University, nine several terms, or more, if the University please by any fixed ordinance to re• quire more, exclusive of the term in which he is first entered on the boards of any college ; but that he may be admitted in the last of the r( quirEd terms, after he has duly kept it, to the title of Bachelor De signate in Arts. "3. That the Comitia for the inauguration of the Bachelors of Arts and perfecting of their degree shall be on the day after Ash-Wednesday (now called the first Tripos•day) ; and that there shall ba no proru gallon of the ceremony (as at present to the second Tripos-day). Th 7 rt on the Friday after the said day cf an nual inauguration those who have hen actual Bache lors of Arts three years may be admitted as inceptors in arts without the accustomed delay of a week. " CREATION. "5. That the Magna Comitia for the creation of the incepting Masters of Arts and Doctors of the year remaining as at present, on the first Tuesday in July, the personal attendance of the inceptors and doctors shall not be required at the ceremony of creation. " ACTS, EXERCISES, AND SERMONS. " 6. That the reading of the dissertation being re tained, acts in the faculties of law and physic may be conducted by the Regius Professor, if he think fit, either wholly or in part after the manner of a viva voce examination, the same being restricted to the subjects proposed; and that the professor himself shall perform the part of opponent or disputant as well as examiner, and no one else be required to do so. "7. That Masters of Arta, unless proceeding to degrees in theology, shall not bo subject to theological exercises, except when in holy orders, to English ser mons ; and that no declaration of change of line shall be required. _ _ " 8. That both the morning and afternoon sermons at St. Mary's Church shall be preached by Bachelors of Divinity and Masters of Arts in holy orders of one year's standing at bast, in the order of their acade mical seniority (such order to be determined by grace of the Senate). " 9. That, excepting on Michaelmas Day, the Uni versity may intermit the sermons during the summer vacation. " 10. That, under regulations to be laid down by the Senate and after making the same subscription as Bachelors of Arts, Students in Theology may obtain the title of licentiates in theology ; provided that, when any one has obtained this title, no residence kept by him for the purpose of obtaining it shall avail for the obtaining of any degree. " 11. That the privilege of taking the degree of Doctor in Divinity pir salturn (that is without having previously taken the degree of Bachelor in Divinity) shall be conceded only to non-resident Masters of Arts, and of them to such only as are employed in ecclesiastical or civil affairs creditably to themselves and usefully to others, who being of the usual stand ing for the degree of Doctor in Divinity (twelve whole years from their admission to the degree of Master of Arts), and having performed all the exercises and all other things required of a Bachelor in Divinity pro ceeding to the same degree, shall produce a certificate, under the hand and seal of the master of their college, that six years have elapsed since they were resident in the University, and shall further produce another certificate, under a fixed form to be prescribed by the Senate, respecting their learning and m o r a l c h aracter, signed by the Chancellor and major part of the heads of colleges ; and lastly, that it shall neither be neces sary nor of any avail for Masters of Arts to erase their names from the boards of their college in order to the obtaining of this privilege. "Lew. " 12. That the faculty of Civil Law shall in future be denominated th e F acu lt y o f Law. " 13. That a St u d ent i n Law may be ad m itt e d to the degree of Bachelor cf Laws in five instead of six Sears. ‘4.

That, upon the Senate being satisfied that a Bachelor o f L aws is seeking the degree of Doctor of Laws for the purpose of ectual practice in the law courts, he may be admitted in four instead of five years. " 16. That, whereas at prcscnt two ncts are re quired to be kept for the dcgree of Dcctor of Lass, in future one shall suffice. N .4.46/ .

That inasmuch as the Senate • - have•-ialvvays ~1 r '''''t been accustomed, upon the recommenilition of 'the '' ' tl' Chancellor and heads of oolleges, to pass graces for petitioning the Crown to remit the obligation of the statutes respecting time and exercises for degrees in favour of deans of cathedrals, heads of colleges, and others distinguished by station or merit, the Uni versity may itself confer degrees on such persona without the necessity of resorting to the Crown to set aside in fact the directions of the statutes. "21. That graduates of other Universities besides those of Oxford and Dublin may be admitted to titular degrees corresponding to the degrees which they bear in their own University. " 22. That foreigners of distinction, rank, or talent, and natives of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland di:tinguisht d by talent or public services, may be admitted to titular degrees of honour in arts, law, physic, without being called ui..on to make any s ubscription or su bscririon or nffirenation, provided that none t,f these persons sh , :ll by virtue of such admission hay* any vote in the Senate.

That with a view to admit Downing Collage into the cycle for the appo intm ent . of University officers, and to correct inequalities in the cycle with a , li ttle disturbance of long -vested interests as the justice of the case will permit, the first cycle in the draft for the double appointments of proctors, of taxors, a n d of scrutators shall be substituted for the one at pre draft sent existing; and that the second . cycle in the shall be adopted for the single appointment of auditors of the accounts. " AUDITORS. "27. That the three auditors of accounts shall b e appointed in the following manner :—The Chancellor shall nominate one who, two or more years ago, fin e d the office of Vice-Chancellor ; some college, in turn according to a prescribed cycle, shall nominate another, and the auditor so nominated by a college the year before, shall be nominated again for the third.

In default of nominations, the Chancellor and tw•o senior Doctors present shall nominate in the manner prescribed in stet. Eliz. c. 41.
