' Th ough affairs seem towear a pacific aspect in a ron re ce, yet certain persons, ' who in general well-informed, still confidently predict that Declaration of War ag,ainst Spain will soon issue fr om the French Government,and another from the ngress of Verona of a similar character.

T he election of Mr. BANKES to represent the "versity of Cambridge in Parliament, may be 4 g a rded as an important triumph for the best nter ests of this great Protestant country. It is s ubject of congratulation to find, that, by its it choi ce of a Representative, this Learned Body . 44 so unequivocally manifested its determina-. ti ob to uphold the PROTESTANT ASCENDANCY, as hlaw established. On the present occasion successful Candidate had to, compete not With the Whig Interest, and with the Per B n „ , —44 claims of Mr. SCARLETT upon the sup -4'4 of the learned profession of which he is a he r , but also with the powerful influence / thich it may be presumed that the _relationship of , ord HERVEY to the Prime Minister of the e°tl ntry exercised over the minds of those Mc t G r s Who a re distinguished by the strength of the ir attach men t to his MAJESTY'S overnmept. v .."ot withstanding these counteracting motives, th e °Verwhelming superiority of Mr. BANKES'S : sater s has triumphantly proved both that the ‘ title lPle of inviolably preserving the Ascendancy of ° ur venerable Religion is predominant in the niversity, and tikat no considerations of per -414 ,friend s hip or private interest can induce the Electors upon whom that principle is im pressed, to compromise it when they are called to exercise their elective franchise. At the pr esent moment, though from the unhappy situa -110 1 1 of Ireland we would avoid all unne cessary causes of irritation, it is impossible to see that there exists, both in that r "try and in,England, syst e matic design •e ro st t ° bring the Established Church into con- Pt, and afterwards to rob it of its Property 4114 P rivileges, if not to effect its final downfal ; ' 4lc ' while every succeeding day adds to the con v , i e r, '°o of the preceding one, that Popery and J esu 't'srn on the one hand, and Infidelity on the othe ") never will rest till they have involved the Church in ruin and the Empire in anarchy, it. is üb lY gratifying to finch the University of Cam b°dge firmly adhering to the Constitution, and thlog the e xampl e of Protestant Consistency to th e Empire at large.

(From the Cambridge "ihroniele.) CAMBRIDGE, NOV. 28.—The 'election of a Re presentative in Parliament - for this University,in the room of• the late Mr. SMYTH, commenced on Tuesday morning. Having stated in our last that very great interest had been excited by the ap-. proaching contest, the termihation of which was reitdered exceedingly' doubtful, from the cir cumstance of three of the Candidates being of nearly the same political opinions, we have now to add, that the intensity 'of this feeling was greatly increased at a late period of the canvas, by the resignation of . Mr. It, GRANT. This Gentleman, finding that his prospects of success were not sufficiently promising to justify his perseverance 'at the present conjuncture, sig nified his intention of withdrawing on Saturday, in a circular letter, which haS already appeared in THE So v.. Independent of the, feelings of partiality with which the friends of each candi date viewed the cause which they had espoused, speculations were now afloat as to the extent to which Mr. GRANT'S resignation would severally affect them ; .add according to the different lights in which this occurrence was considered, each perty felt more or less 'secure in the issue of the contest. In the course of Monday, Carri'ap;es were rolling into the town from various parts of the kingdom, and on Tuesday the bustle and animation every where visible announced that Alma Mate' was again about to receive the greetings of her long-absenCsotis, and, from, their numbers and the characters which they sustain, in society, very forcibly brought to recol lection that. ancient memorial of her renown— " Hine Lucem et pocula sacra."—The note of preparation, both long and loud, which had beeri sounded all over the kingdom, excited not only interest and expectation among the Sons of Science, but even entered into the buiy haunts of the po litical and commercial world. The proceedings which generally take place 'on occasions when Englishmen exercise one of . the most glorious privileges of their birth-right, • gave rise in many quarters to a supposition that that would this day have witnessed that display of 'eloquence which might be expected from the acquirements of the candidate's and of their zeal Ons friends; and although the Mem bers of the UniverSity are aware that such a pro tedure. is neither sanctioned by the • practide nor supposed to be consistent with the dignity of this learned body, yet the . occurrences at the last contested election in the sister University led many persons to conjecture that similar conduct would have been pursued on this occasion. Ifow ever, at ten o'clock on Tuesday morning,' the election commenced in the Senate House, accord- ing to established custom, the Vice-Chancellor, Proctors, and a junior D.D. standing in scrutiny to receive the votes. The polling was carried on with spirit until three o'clock, when an adjourn ment took place; and at six the polling recom menced, and was continued until ten, when the business was adjourned till the next day. On Wednesday morning, at nine o'clock, the poll recommenced, and although the num bers in the Senate house were less than on the preceding day, yet votes continued to be re ceived until two o'clock, when an adjournment took place until six. The poll was re-opened at that hour, and was continued until ten o'clock, when it t nally closed. The crowd assembled during the evening was very great, and whilst the votes were separated and counted (which oc-, cupied nearly an hour) the most intene anxiety was manifested. At eleven o'clock the numbers were declared to be, For Mr Bankes 419 Lord Hervey - , 281 Mr. Scarlett - 219 Majority in favour of Mr. Bankes -138 The announcement of the numbers was - re, ceived with reiterated shouts of 'applause. Thus ended'a contest, almost unexampled in the annals of the UniversitY; and as we have, from the commencenient of, the canvass, made our observations on the passing events of the day, we shall perhaps not trespass too much upon our readers by adding ' a few, remarks on the result' of this arduous contest. ln the first place, it affords us sincere pleasure to congratulate the University at large, and the'Clergy in particular, on the return of Mr. Bankes as their Represen tative. Cambridge men appear on this occasion to have felt, that the eyes of the world were upon them, and that it was ready, at this juncture, either to applaud their firml consistency, or to, fling in their teeth the taunting rebuke of insin cerity, on a question which they have long pro fessed to consider of the most vital importance; and by the manner in which they haw acted, on the present occasion, they have shown, not only in word but in deed, that they consider the place and principles' of their education really and fundamentally Protestant: We congratulate Mr. Bankes, too, on the distinguished honour which has proved the reward of the open, manly and undisguised avow'al of his sentiments, and to assure him that his supporters ' feel confident that he will, by similar conduct in the House of Commons, prove himself what they belieVe him to be, the firm and consistent advocate of our glorious Constitution in Church and State.— The result which has attended the extraordinary exertions and powerful influence of the friends of Lord Hervey will afford a very useful thought, at the same time rather severe lesson in certain quarters. For highly as Lord Hervey is re spected, both for his talents and private virtues, it proves to a demonstration that the University of Cambridge is not to be considered in the same light, nor influenced in the same manner, as a mere borough ; and it shews beyond a doubt that the electors generally will not sacrifice their well known and long-cherished political principles, either at the Shrine of private friendship or per sonal advantage. The issue of the contest, as it regards the Whigs, is of no trifling importance, for it skews, at one view, the estimation in which their principles are held in this University. On the present occasion they appeared in the field with every possible advantage. They came early to the canvass, with undivided forces, whilst there was a strong division of interests among their competitors. They also had for their cham pion, a candidate of their own choice p one who, from his distinguisifedlalent§ and eloquence, may almost be considered - artheleader of their party. The experience now bought at so • great an ex pence of zeal; activity; and influence, clearly in-, dicates, that notwithstanding the ,strenOf pos ,sessed by this party, among the lawyers, the cause of the -Whigs not popular in the Uni versity, nor are:the Members of a learned and - enlightened body, to be biassed, in the least degree, .by the same plausible reasoning as the inconsiderate crowds which compose a popular assembly. To Mr. Scarlett and his political pretensions we now bid adieu, and leave him, in the true spirit of Whig consistency, again to take his seat as the representative of a close borough, in that House of Commons where he professes-to ,be the strenuous advOcate of Parlia mentary Reform.--In conclusion we have to express our gratification at the good temper and gentlemanly conduct which has so universally prevailed in carrying on this conflicting contest ; nor must we omit to observe, that notwithstand ing the diversity of feeling and interest which, mint naturally exist, in so numerous a body, we are perfectly confident that general harmony now prevails, and that in .time perfect satisfaction will attend the issue of this,election. DR. CLARKE WHITFELD'S CONCERTS. Three grand Concerts have this week been performed in the Town Hall, under the direction of Dr. C. WIIIITELD, being the first musical festival which that Gentleman has conducted in this place, since hia dealt) to the Pidessorship. Ire addi tion to the powerful attractions of Miss Paton,-Miss D. Travis, - and Mr. Vaughan, Dr. Whitfeld procured the finest instrumental band whichwe ever remember to heave heard in that room, and the whole was led by Mr. F.Cramer, with thatprecision and judgment for which he is so justly eminent.. The performers -.indivi dually and collectively, merited and received very general ap, probation. The instrumental pieces were exceedingly effective, and although our limits will not allow us to particularize those which elicited.the 'greatest applause, we cannot, in justice to the superior talents of Cramer, Willman., MOnzania, and Lindley, omit to notice, that their performances, as usual; gave unbounded' satisfaftion. Of Miss Paton we mayexpress ourselves in terms of unqualified commendation; indeed the marked applause with which she was honoured, followed by repeated encores, must have been extremelygratifying ; and we may venture to ailirin, that fur . - ther experience, will raise this very promising young lady to the highest rank in , lier profession. Miss Travis sang with exqui site sweetness and taste, and deservedly received an equal share of public approbation. Mr. Vaughan, also, gave many favourite songs and. airs with his accustomed excellence. Indeed every song, duet, and trio afforded such general delight, that the audience were with difficulty restrained from demanding encores in almost every . instance. The national anthem of God save the King, although announced for the last evening, was loudly called for every night, and was promptly performed 1.1 the band. The attendance at the several concerts was highly respectable; we lamented, however, that in consequence of the poll being kept open till a late hour on'Tuesday and Wednesday even ings, it was not sufficiently numerous to reimburse the spirited, conductor for the heavy expences he must.have insured by pro curing such a band of - first-rate performers. We feel assured, notwithstanding, that whenever an opportunity may offer itself, for a musical festival on.a more extensive scale, it will be given by Professor Whitfeld with corresponding liberality, and with that taste and science for which he stands pre-emment in the musical world.--( lbid.) INDIA.—By the' Hinclostan, which arrived here .yesterday from Calcutta, whence she sailed on the 18th of July, we have received the Bengal Ilurkaru to the 12th. Their contents are wholly destitute of political interest. We are sorry to 'state., that Dr. MIDDLETON, the excellent Bishop of Calcutta, died on Monday, the Bth of ,July, aftee a short illness. His death will . .be much regretted, for he was the active patron of every scheme for spreading Christianity throughout the Eastern world. The followin. , extract contains the notice of the death of this excellent Prelate : " CALCUTTA, JULY 11.-At the Presidency, on the night of Monday, the Bth instant, about eleven o'clock, the Right Rev. Thonias Fanshaw Middleton, D.D.' Lord Bishop of Cal cutta, after a short but severe illness, which baffled all me dical skill. His Lordship 'was in the full posession of health on the preceding Tuesday when he visited the College.— On the day of his death, Monday, he' was' conceived to have passed the crisis of the fever under which he had suffered during this short interval, and to be out of dan ger ; at half-past seven o'clock he was thoUght much bet ter than before; but at eight he was seized with a vio lent paroxysm of fever, and at eleven o'clock expired ! The tolling of the Cathedral bell, at intervals of a minute, an nounced this melancholy event to the community at sunrise on the following morning. We wait for the tribute that will, no doubt, be paid to the private virtues of the Bishop by those who are better qualified for the task. His remains, we hear, are to be interred this evening, Thursday the 11th instant, prepara tions being now making for the solemnity to be observed in a manner suited to the station held by the deceased."—( Liver pool Courier, Nov. 27.) • NEW SOUTH %VALES WHAL'E FISHERY.—EX tract of a letter, from Port Dalrytnoe, dated June 30 :--- " It was 'thought that during the two preceding whale seasons the whale fishery here . Was failing; and, m consequenCe the ves sels also began to decrease in number, so ntucb so indeed that this season there arc comparatively few.. It so happens that the present has turned out the most plentiful one we have had ever since the first fishery here; and the number of whales seen ex ceeds that remembered by the oldest Colonist. - Very: few vessels haVe ,been employed;' and consequently, we reret to say, the greater part of the advantage has been' lost. Those ships, how ever, which have been engaged in this business have, :been un commonly successful,., far , exceeding even ,their most sanguine expectations. The ship - Vansittart and the brig WOddlark; which Arrived - a few days ago at Port Jackson from - the Sperm Whale Fishery, had a large supply.of oil on board:; the former having l tons, and the latter 116 tons. They had put into l'ort Jack son to obtain refreshments., The Seringapitam, which is now engaged at the fishery, has • caught no less than nine whales, some of them very'prolific; and, in consequence of this success, she is nearly filled with a most valuable cargo." THE THEATRE.—MPS. AUSTIN, who made so promising an appearance last week at Drury-lane Theatre in the character of Rosetta, in Love in a Village, resumed the part last night ; and fully confirmed the favourable impression which she made upon the public. We conceive; however, that the same rivalry which has been promoted be tween Mr. KEAN and Mr.YouNG should take place between Mrs.Aus'rm and Miss Fo EIDE, and in turn with Miss STEPHENS, when she joins the musical corps of this Theatre. Each of these fair Syrens would then devote herself with additional zeal to study, and exert herself with augmented emula tion in performance ; and the public would de rive increased pleasure from the competition. Mr. BRAHAM last night gave a true Sportsman's spirit to Hawthorn, and sung with his usual skill and energy, and lio►tN. vas correct and animated in Young Meadows. The house was well at tended, and the opera throughout well received. Yesterday at two o'clock, the Cabinet Mi nisters assembled at the Foreign Office, in Down ing.street, which was an adjournment of the Cabinet Council which was held last Tuesday.— The Cabinet Ministers were the same as on Tues day, with the addition of Lord MAitypottouGH. They continued in deliberation till. half-past four. The Earl of LIVERPOOL came to town in the morning to attend the Cabinet .from Combo Wood, and returned at its breaking up. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

Last week the Larnbtori Hounds had an uncommonly good, day's sport. They . met at Stainton Village, and found their fox in Elstob Gorse; went past Elstob Village' to Manor House ; passed Lee Lodge, pointed for Bishopton, but turn ed to Mount Pleasant, by the Lodge, and back .to Elstob ; skirted it, paSsed the village to Foxton, over Shoton Moors to Maudlin Gutter down to Thorp Village, across the brook to Carlton ; went by West House, by Bed Marshal, to,OX Eye; passed East Newhiggin to Little. Stainton ; left Great Stanton to the right, and back to Elstob Cover ; ran a ring in the Cover, when he again broke ; went to Elstob Village, where, to every body's satisfaction, to the hounds and their worthy master be it said, they ran from scent into view, and killed, after a beautiful hunting chase of two hours and'3s mi i nutes. Some of the sportsmen were planted; many. had enough; and none went better than the gallant Captain Hen ley, on a bay mare, who rode best, to the admiration of all who lived; with the hounds. The fox ran full 25 miles of country, and was the best that has been thrown to them this season. • ,I.—) ii 2 2*, rs ,p 1 , 1. - ° , z , 'P, 7 •N'stAir-40 4-2 \:, - - ife,,i.;,*,. - ',--: 447 / 00.. 3 - 4- - Ls' . 4 ---• ' I k .‹ 7,47,..,,v.,....r.„..,:t.t...e....:..„,. ....\. ..r.,;„ . ~,,.......„tc, .....,. „„...b_ • 4‘., ‘4 ZR OY -`.."

Yesterday being the day for Spring and Nears match to have taken place, the friends of Neat•met in the evening at the Fives Court, where they had some time ago intended to have dined, but the match being off, they put the dinner off. Neat was particularly well received. One Gen tleman offered to stake 2001. on Neat, if the fight was to take place. Neat said he was anxious to fight, and if the . 1501: for feit was paid him, he would fight Spring, or any man in Eng land, in a month from the time a match was made, but not sooner, as he had been living very free for the last ten days, and would not allow any man to take advantage of him. He also remembered that he had been running about the country, and had been put to great expellee ; he therefore would not dance up to London, but fight within forty miles of Bristol.— He is anxious to hear from his friend Belcher, but supposes Tom is waiting to receive the 150/. forfeit on the late match. Mr. Prsuop, who some years since was Master of Merchant Taylors' School, being requested by a friend to pay particular attention to his son's education, made the follow ing reply :"My dear Sir, my mode is to throw the learning I possess among the boys, to be scrambled for ; and of • course those who are the most shrewd and the most alert will pick up the largest portion." NEW MARRIAGE ACT. On Sunday morning, after the sermon, at the parish Church of Allhallows, Goldsmith-street, , Exeter, the Rev. Mr. Vicars gave notice that he should then • yroceed to read the New Marriage Act, upon which announce ment, the whole congregation, with the exception of the Clerk and Sexton, immediately quitted the Church. VAN DIEMEN'S LAND. • [FROM THE HOBART TOWN GAZETTE, JULY 13, 1822.1 LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR'S COURT, JULY 8. WILLIAM SHOOBRIDGE v. JOHN FOREMAN. This action excited considerable interest, and we publish the substance of it for general information. The plaintiff in the present case was a steerage passenger, with his family, on board the Denmark Hill, bound to this colony, where he came to be a settler ; the defendant was master of the ship. It appeared ghat the plaintiff had paid 200/. for his passage and accommodations, and was to be supplied by the defendant with a weekly ration of salted meat, biscuit, water, &c. according to a schedule pro duced ; but the Captain did not fulfil his agreement, as the plaintiff was deficient in the weight and measure of his provi sions and water; and one item, viz. vinegar, lie never re ceived at all, a most essential article to parsons like the plaintiff and his family, who lived almost entirely on salt meat. The plaintiff frequently applied to the Captain to redress his grievances, but • all was unavailing; the plain tiff was also not allowed to use the fire but at certain times, although pressed repeatedly, as it could have been done without interfering with any one ; and what made the matter more distressing to the plaintiff's feelings, 'he bad a wife and two children sick a part of the voyage, re quired a little more than ordinary the use of the fire-place to warm such things as the plaintiff thought necessary in their afflicted case. He ventured to remonstrate with the Captain on his conduct upon this, and upon his not complying generally with the terms of his agreement ; but it had no other effect than to produce a,positive refusal, accompanied by unpleasant alter cation. His suffering wife and two of his children died on the sea, about two months after they left England.—The plaintiff now came before the Court to seek some reparation for the in juries received. The defendant's evidence, upon the whole, rather confirmed the plaintiff's statement.—The Court _gave a verdict for the plaintiff to the amount of his demand— Damages 501. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

The contrary winds still continue. Our supplies remain short, and Wheat continues dull at Monday's prices. Fine Barley sells rather better. In Beans and Peas there is no vari ation. Oats also maintain Monday's prices, but there is not much doing in this article, as the buyers are waiting for a far-. ther supply. - • SMITHFIELD MARKET, Nov. 28. _ There was a short market this morning of all descriptions of Cattle, and the prices of good Cattle are on the advance, but all inferior sorts remain as per our last quotation.—.

We understand that Earl FrrzwlLLlAm has caused ejectments to be served upon a number of the gentlemen on his estates, who were rack rent middle-men, owing several years' arrears them selves, and making the poor cottagers pay to the day : his Lordship has, however, ordered that the occupying tenants shall Snot be removed.--=-(Car kw Post.) The tenants of the Marquis of Luisnowx re ceived a further abatement of their rents at his Lordship's late audit, which with former abate:- ments makes an average reduction of about 401. per cent. on his Wiltshire tenants. LIsToN is at present performing at the Dublin. Theatre. We wish he was again at the place where he ought to be, namely, Covent-garden Theatre. The petit comedy, said to be written by Mr. COLMAN, which is getting up at Drury-lane for the purpose of introducing little CLARA FISIItII, is to be called Youthful Metamorphoses. In lien of Mrs. AUSTIN, Miss F. 11. KELLY, and Miss LACY, the Manager of the Dublin Theatre has engaged Miss GRADDON, ATKINS, and Miss J ARMAN ; and by their suc cess, it is prognosticated they will all shine out London stars next season. • A distinguished Catholic Barrister, going to Court on the morning of the Low) MA oil's Proclamation, prohibiting the dressing of the statue, having met Lord N—, alluded to that circumstance ;upon which his Lordship promptly observed,—" Yes , I heard of that, and was sur. prised to find a Fleming had deserted a member of the House of Nassau." • MERRY WIDOWER.-Sir WILLIAM IJ,AWES, Archbishop of York, who was fond of socierty in which he could relax and indulge in punning, to which he was very paitiaLu_ His clergy dining with him for the first time after he had •JOst his Lady, he told them he feared they would not find their reception quite so comfortable as they used to be in the time of his dear Mary; and looking extremely sorrowful, added, with a sigh, " She was indeed Mare pact:ileum . " Curate who pretty well knew Lady Dawes ' temper, which was none of the best, said, " Aye, my Lord, but she was 11;1(4 e 7itortuum first." The Archbishop could not suppress his gra tification at the joke, and rewarded the Curate with a living ,vf 200/. within two months. ...... Another difference between parishioners and their Rector, similar to the recent one in St. Margaret's, Westminster, is likely, we hear, to take place in the united parishes of 'St. regory and St. Magdalen. The Rev. Mr. DIELoN, one of the Clergymen, we believe, commonly deno minated Evangelical Preachers, has canvassed for the Lecturership, now vacant by the resignatiba of the Rev. Mr. TOWNSIIEND, and has obtained the promise of a majority of votes ; but the Itev. Mr. WEBB, the Rector, has intimated his inten tion, in the event of Mr. DILLON'S election, to refuse him the pulpit. There has not for many years been known a greater number of woodcocks in this country than in the present season. Two gentlemen from the sister country have, in the course of the last week, shot from 70 to SO brace on the demesne and ' estate of Castlemartyr, besides 43 brace of hates and other game. The number of woodcocks may be accounted for from the prevalence of easterly winds that existed at the commencement of the last eight days.—Cork Southern Reporter.
