PRICE SD. TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SENATE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE. AT a MEETING of the MEMBERS of the SE NATE of CAMBRIDGE, held at the Union Hotel, Cock s ,ur• street, London, the 22d of February, 1847, the following Resolu tions were adopted unanimously : Moved by the Right Rev, the Lord Bishop of LONDON ; seconded Book of Reference; and also restraining them from altering the level of a public carriage Road, No. 163, is the parish of Sutton Coldfield :—And that the Committee on the Bill do examine, in the first place, how far such order has been com plied with ; and do report the same to the House on the re port of the Bill. Second, third, and fourth resolutions agreed to.—Report to lie on the table. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PoreTsmouvr, FRB. 22.—The Undine, a very pretty iron steamer, which has earned the reputation of being a remark ably fast goer among the Channel steamers, arrived last night (having been purchased by the Admiralty) to act, as we are informed, as a tender pro tern. to the royal yacht for the oc casional use of her Majesty and the Prince Consort in their visits to Oz.:borne House, as both the Victoria and Albert and the Fairy are hors de combat at present. This gives an air of truth to the rumour that her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and the Royal Family, intend paying a visit to the Isle of Wight this week—it is said on Saturday. The Undine has the appearance of a fast vessel, and it is not much unlike the Fairy, excepting that she is propelled by paddles instead of a screw, and that her masts and funnel have no rake. The Echo embarked the depot companies of the 56th Regi ment from Clarence yard this morning for Parkhurst bar racks, Isle of Wight. As there are not any men-of-war of small tonnage at this port which can be made available to carry meal to Ireland, the Admiralty have ordered the hire of vessels for the pur pose, and Mr. Davis, the Master Attendant of the Royal Clarence Victualling Establishment, has been endeavouring, both here and at Southampton, to take up tonnage of small ere ft, capable of stowing some thousands of bags of meal for conveyance to Ireland. One vessel is to proceed to Clifden, county of Galway, as soon as loaded, and another to Kingstown, Dublin, in charge of Government officers. The Dauntless screw steam-frigate is shipping stores for her crew, and loading with meal, of which sLe will take up wards of 300 tons, for Tobermory, in Scotland. She sails immediately she is laden. A small vessel is to be hired to accompany her, loaded also with meal, which she will dis tribute on the small islands in the Hebrides and Orkneys, under the directions of the commissioner. The greatest activity continues to prevail in the Clarence-yard in grind ing corn for Ireland. The men work night and day. They are also completing a demand for a supply of biscuit for 25,000 men. GENTLEMEN, FIAVING- received from the Master and Resident Members of the :Celine of which I have the honour to be a member, a requisition to allow myself to be proposed as a CANDI DATE for the *Mee of CHANCELLOR of the UNITERSITY, ac companied by the information that other highly respected and influ ential members of the University had expressed a similar wish, I take the liberty of announcing to you that it is my Intention, in compliance with those expressions of fstvonr, to offer myself as a can didate for the Chancellorship, vacant by the lamented death of the Duke of Northumberland. Although I cannot hope to fill that high omee with such advantage to the University as accrued from the presidency of our late valued and respected Chancellor, I may ven ture to assure you that no one will feel more anxious than myself to support the interests of .the University, or to promote the welfare of the Church, for the maintenance of which the University of Cam bridge forms so prominent a source. I request the favour of your vote and support en the day fixed by the University to supply the present vacancy. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your faithful servant, Walcot, Feb. 15, 1847.

This remark especially applies to the Chester Cup, Camera Obscura alone, of the favourites, being in any force, or making any advance. There was a little more spirit in the Derby betting, Van Tromp having been backed for some hundreds at 7 to 1 and 15 to 2, Epirute at 10 to 1, and Planet at 12 to 1, both freely; the Horn of Chase for upwards of 2001. at 30 to 1 and 1,000 to 30, Old Port for 2001. at 50 to 1, Limestone, Black Dwarf, Christopher and Claredon at 1,000 to 15 each ; and Will o' the Wisp at 2,000 to 35.

The strength and capa bilities of the Terrible steam-frigate have been well tried in all kinds of weather and in gales of wind, both steam ing and sailing, and under canvass without steam. In steaming, using only two boilers, or half her power, she has beaten the fastest of her Majesty's war steamers with their full power. She is so steady and extraordinarily easy in a heavy sea, that she has never had occasion to have anything secured on board in the most violent gales, and her consump tion of coal is less in proportion than any smaller steamer that has attempted to compete with her. When in company with the Retribution, which vessel has only one deck of guns, but is of the same number of horse-power as the Terrible, while the latter had two gun decks and double the quantity of powder, shot, and shells, with 150 tons of coals on board more than her competitor, she beat the Retribution under these circumstances with a consumption of 10 tons of coals less each day of the trial. The towing qualities of the Terrible were fully tested when she towed the Hibernia, first-rate of 104 guns, faster than that vessel had ever sailed, and under various changes and different ways, tow ing her six, eight, and sometimes ten knots per hour. The Terrible is now, after twelve months' work, perfect in appear ance, and continues as firm as the day she was launched from the stocks. Cosistissiox or LUNACT.—Yesterday a commission de lunatic* inquirendo was opened at the residence of George Cole, ESC!, 73, Edgware-road, before Mr. Commissioner Winslow and a special jury, to inquire as to the state of mind of the above-named George Cole, a gentleman of the very advanced age of 83 years, and possessed of property to the value of nearly 12,060/. The commission was taken out at the instance of Mr. Richard Cole, a brother of the unfortu nate gentleman, who resides at Dudley Castle, the property of Lord Dudley and Ward. Mr. Hugh Hill appeared as counsel in support of the commission, and Mr. Beaumont as solicitor for the alleged lunatic. Mr. Webster And Mr. Guy, of the Edgware-road, surgeons, bore out the foregoing testi mony, concurring in opinion that the unfortunate aentleman was effected with incurable dementia, resulting from extreme old age. The jury, with the Learned Commissioner, counsel, &c., proceeded to the drawing-room to have an interview with Mr. Cole. His appearance was that of a very healthy but aged man, with a mild, good-humoured countenance, and features which had evidently been handsome. The few answers be made to the questions propounded were con firmatory of the foregoing testimony, and on their return to court they immediately . returned a verdict, " That George Cole was of unsound mind, incapable of managing himself and his affairs, and had been so since Feb. 1, 1844." TAILORS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—Yesterday the tenth annual general meeting of the supporters of the institution for the relief of aged and distressed journeymen tailors was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen street—Mr. Sprague in the chair. The report of the com mittee read by Mr. Hall, stated that there had recently been a sensible diminution in the number of members, though the usefulness and wants of the institution had much increased. The committee regretted the continued apathy of the trade, for had it not been for a legacy of 1001. left by the late Mr. George Hudson, the income would have been lees than last year. Since the erection of the Institution at Haverstock hill the number of pensioners admitted was seventy-six, to which five more would be added that day. The year's re• ceipts amounted to 4,01.51., and the expenditure left a balance of 1871. The sum of 1,2731. bad been added to the stock, making the funded property now amount to 12,2721.

CAMBRIDGE.—At a Meeting of the Members of the Senate, held in the Combination Room of St. John's College, Cambridge, this afternoen, The MASTER of ST. JOHN'S in the Chair, After a letter from Lord Penis, in reply to one from the Master of St. John's, written after the meeting of the Heads of Houses, held on Monday last, had been read to the meeting, It was resolved unanimously,—That the best thanks of this meeting are due to Lord Powie for his ready acquiescence in the wish that he should become a candidate for the office of Chancellor of this UniTersity, and that this meeting pledges itself to use its utmost efforts to promote his election. Feb. 18,1647. pHE COMMITTEE for CONDUCTING the ELECTION of the EARL OF POWIS to the Chancellorship of the University of Cambridge beg to submit the following STATE MENT to the Members of the Senate:— When by the lamented death of the late Chancellor it became ne • cessary to consider the appointment of a successor, it was deemed desirable to bring forward such a candidate as might be 'apposed to be most acceptable to the general body of the Senate, and to repre sent the opinions of the majority of its members. The interest which the Earl of Powis had uniformly displayed In all that concerns the University, and the acquaintance which by his education and subsequent connexion with it he had maintained with our academic institutions—the independence of his character anti position—the zeal and energy which lie has exhibited in forwarding the interests of the Church, and his able and effectual support of her claims, naturally directed the attention of many members of the Uni versity to this nobleman, and steps were immediately taken to obtain his Lordship's consent to be put in nomination for the high office of Chancellor. _ _ _ The Earl of Purvis at once acceded to the request, and the favour able manner in which his Lordship's name has been received assures this ccmmittee that the same considerations which led to the first in vitation to Lord Fowls will secure the warm and hearty support of all who feel how Important it is to the University that their Chancel lor should possess those qualities for which the Earl of Fowls is se eminently distinguished. The ELECTION will take place in the Senate House, on Tanne r)* T, Feb. 25, at Ten o'clock A M. The Committee trust that the non-resident members of the Senate will be prepared Is give their votes for Lord Pawls, in ease of an opposition. Arrangements will be made for the accommodation and convey ance of nen-resident voters. The Committee sit daily, at Mr. Elliott Smith's Rooms, Trinity street. Communications may be addressed to the Rev. R. Williams, of King's College; or to the Rev. F. France, Honorary Secretary. Signed in behalf of the Committee, R. TATHAM, Chairman. RICE FLom—A parcel of rice dust, meal, or flour, was lately imported by one of the vessels arriving from the United States, which being a novel description of impor tation, was not specifically rated in the table of duties, but it was considered to be liable to the duty of Is. per cwt. as rice, and ordered to be charged accordingly. The duty on rice itself has been suspended or temporarily repealed, and, there fore, the article mentioned would now, equally with rice, be free of duty. A CORN STACK FIRED.—On Sunday evening a large corn stack, containing forty quarters of wheat, near the high road, about a mile from &rood, on the road from Gravesend to Rochester, was set on fire by some malicious person, and was entirely consumed. It was the property of Mr. Mace, of Gravesend. Committee-rooms of th• Earl of Fowls, Trinity-street, Cambridge, Feb. 19, 1847.

Cooper and William it R . F tzmaurice, Esqs , charged with the wilful murder of Patrick Brennan, better kniswn as Patrick Nell)', at the fair of Mayo, Queen's county, in the year 1811. The particulars of the case are as follow • Malone was at thatp eriod at the head of a faction who s went to pull down Brennan's tent on the fair green. On the ap pearance of Brennan he was stabbed in the abdomen with a large knife, and killed on the spot. Malone, after the com mittal of the murder, as !alleged, fled to America, but re turned to Ireland, and settled in the county of Meath, about eighteen years since, where he resided until (on private in formation), he was arrested and brought back to the Queen's county. On Monday last he was fully identified, after an absence of thirty-six years, by persons who knew the pri soner, and were present at the murder. The prisoner, who is about seventy years of age, was dressed in the ordinary garb of a county Meath labourer, and on being removed from the court-home to the police barrack, after being identified, he fainted in the street. After some time he recovered his self-possession, and was escorted in a car to the gaol of Maryborough.— Carlow Sentinel.

The remains of the late lamented Duke of Northumber land were interred to-day in Westminster Abbey. The funeral, though conducted with that pomp befitting the high rank of the deceased Peer, was essentially a private one, as none, save the immediate relatives of his Grace, the clergyman of Alnwick, the parish in - which he died, and the beads of his household followed his bier as mourners. Even the lying in state of the body at Northumberland House was equally private, few, save the relatives and household of the Noble Duke, being admitted into the chamber of death to testify their respect, and take their farewel of the descendant, of the ancient and noble family of the Percys—" through maternal descent the representative of the old Earls of Northumberland—of that Manfred the Dane, who made irruptions into France in the ninth century, and whose pos terity, settling in Normandy, took their name from the do main of Percy in that province." His Grace was born on the 20th of April, 1785, and, therefore, at the time of his death he had not completed his sixty-second year. On the 28th of April, 1817, whilst in his thirty-second year, he espousod the Lady Charlotte Florentia Clive, second daugh ter of Edward, first Earl Powis, who was then in her thirtieth year, and who survives her husband. The deceased Duke came from the Smithson branch of the family, the first baronet of which received his title on the 2d of August, 1660. The mournful cortege left Northumberland House shortly after twelve o'clock in the following order : Two attendants on horseback. Two mutes on horseback. Feathers. Two mutes on horseback. Eight cloakmen on horseback. The coronet of the late Duke on a crimson cushion. State carriages of the late Duke. A hearse, drawn by six horses, containing the body of the The family arms and stars were emblazoned on the ham mer-cloth and sides of the hearse. The raffia was covered with crimson velvet, studded with gilt nails, and beautifully emblazoned with the arms of the house. In the first car riage were the Rev. Sir H. Dukinfield, Bart., vicar of St. Martin's; Rev. Mr. Giffard, curate; and the Rev. Charles Charlton, minister of Alnwick New Church. In the second, hie Grace the Duke of Northumberland (the late Duke's brother); his Grace the Duke of Athol, and the Right Hon. Lord Lovaine. In the third, the Bishop of Carlisle, Hon. Admiral Joceline Percy, Hon. Admiral Wm. Percy, and the Hon. Charles Bertie Percy. In the fourth, the Hon. Henry M. Percy, the Rev. H. Percy, and Lord James Mur ray. In the fifth, Earl Powis, the Right Hon. Edward Lord Clive, M.P., and W. Martin Drummond, Esq. In the 6th, Sir Walter Riddell, Bart. ; Hodgson, Esq., Q.C. ; Blackburn, Esq. ; and Williams, Esq. The 7th and eighth carriages contained some of the household. A long train of the carriages of the nobility and gentry followed. Charing-cross, Whitehall, and Parliament-street were as thronged as on the days of the opening and prorogation of Parliament. Most of the windows were occupied. The cortege reached the north door of the Abbey about one o'clock, in the immediate vicinity of which an immense number of persons had congregated. The coffin having been carried into the chapel and placed close to the vaults, the Right Rev. the Dean, aided by the other dignitaries of the Abbey, who appeared in their full canonicals, performed the beautiful service, after which an anthem was chaunted by the choir, and the body was removed to the vault, and placed beside that of the late Duke. The Abbey was filled with spectators, the majerity of whom appeared in mourning. THE NAVIGATION LAWS. The Select Committee, appointed to inquire into the ope ration of the navigation laws, met yesterday for the first time. The following members compose the Committee:— Sir R. Peel, Mr. M. Gibson, Vice-President of the Board of Trade, Mr. Ricardo, Sir H. Douglas, Mr. Alderman Thom!). son, Mr. C. I'. Villiers, Mr. Liddell, Sir G. Clerk, Mr. Mitchell, Admiral Dundas, Mr. Lyall, Mr. M`Carthy, Mr. T. Baring. Mr. Hume, and Mr. Bright. Mr:Huma moved, and Mr. RicAnDo seconded, that Sir B. Peel be appointed the chairman of the Committee. Sir It. PEEL respecifullv declined acting as chairman. He thought it would be much more advisable for the Committee to elect as their chairman Mr. M. Gibson, the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, whose position as a member of the Government would give him a greater command over sources of information relative to the subject matter of their inquiry than any other member of the Committee could have. Be sides, supposing that their inquiries should result in a Bill being brought before Parliament, there would be a greater likelihood of its being carried into a law if brought under notice of the House by a member of the Government, who would posses greater facilities for legislation than any private Member of the Committee could pos.ibly have. Mr. M. GIBSON was eventually appointed the Chairman, and the Hon. Member having taken the chair, Mr. Humx asked Mr. Ricardo, as the mover for the Com mittee, what course the latter proposed to take with reference to the inquiries of the Committee? Mr. RICARDO said, he proposed, in the first instance, to call wit Lesses to explain to the committee clearly what the law was at that moment, and how far, and in what manner, it affected the maritime affairs of the country. it would be necessary, also, that they should know what particular Acts affec l t a ed w the navigation navigio itself,by other laws far andhownow in x that naviga tioneist exist ence. He thought that nobody was so able to inform the relaxedor atnlaw modified committee on these points as Mr. Lefevre, of the Board of Trade, and he (Mr. Ricardo) proposed to call him in the first instance. Afterwards, he proposed that they should inquire into the effect of the law upon the mercantile trans actions of this country, and also as to its operation upon the colonies. A member of the Committee suggested that they should examine persons that could give them most accurate infor mation on the navigation laws of other commercial states in the world, and particularly as to what modification they might have undergone since the relaxations of the restric tions which had taken place in those of this country. Mr. RICARDO said, he had moved for an abstract of the maritime regulations of the various countries, but that re turn was of so voluminous a nature that it had not yet been completed. Sir h. PZEL suggested that a short summary of the laws at present in force in the various other continental states might be procured from the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Mr. LIDDELL thought it would be convenient to con sider some sort of classification of the heads of inquiry, by which means the attenti on o f th e comm i ttee m i ght be di rected to ascertain the specific operation, under each head, of the laws which, in the estimation of the Hon. Member who had moved fo r the comm itt ee , m i g ht b e mos t suscep tible of alteration for the benefit of the country, such, for instance, as those relating to the coasting trade and the fishery trade. Mr. BRIGHT said there were two classes of persons in the country interested in the navigation-law, one class support ing it on account of the commercial protection which it afforded, and the other on account of its having reference to the defence of the country. He thought the two were equally deserving of attention. Sir R PEEL thought it would be advisable for them to ask Mr. Lefevre to prepare himself for an examination as to the changes which the navigation-laws relating to this country had undergone; and then to examine Mr. M'Gregor as to what were the navigation laws of other states. The coes.ung trade and the colonial trade were questions very much mixed up together. The Committee concurred in this suggestion, and adjourned till Tuesday, the 2d of March.

ANOTHER MANIAC RAILWAY TRAVELLER. The rapidity of locomotion peculiar to railway travelling would really appear to have a most extraordinary effect on the minds of some men, if one may judge from the strange occurrences every now and then taking place on the principal lines of railway. It is only a few weeks since that the pub lic were startled by au account of a gentleman who, after threatening to murder his companion in a first-class carriage on the North-Western Railway, leaped from the train, and by a miracle escaped with only a few slight bruises. The day before yesterday an incident of a somewhat similar cha racter occurred on the South-Eastern Railway. A person of respectable appearance, whose name has since been ascer tained to be Scott, booked himself at the Folkestone station of this line by a third class train for London. During the progress of the train his manner attracted the observation of some of his fellow passengers, but it was not until their ar rival at the Godstone road station that anything of a serious character occurred. On reaching this place, however, Scott exhibited an extraordinary degree of excitement, and calling aloud for assistance, declared that his fellow-passen gers were attempting to stab him with their knives. The guard endeavoured to appease him, but he insisted on get ting out of the carriage. Under the impression that if the train were once in motion the unfortunate man would remain quiescent, the guard gave the signal to the driver to proceed. He had scarcely done so when Mr. Scott burst open the car riage door, and jumping en to the platform, b oun d e d over the hedge into an adjoining field, across which he ran at full speed.. The guard observing all that had occurred, imme diately stopped the train, and giving chace, came up with the poor fellow in a few moments. Partly by persuasion and partly by force, he induced him to return, and having placed him in a second-class carriage, under the care of a porter and two of the passengers, who kindly offered to undertake the disagreeable duty, the train again proceeded. After the train was in motion Mr. Scott's excitement increased, and notwithstanding the utmost precautions he contrived to force his head and shoulders through the window of the carriage, smashing the glass and frame to pieces, and being with great difficulty prevented from precipitating himself out of the carriage. On arriving at London Bridge he . was consigned to the care of the police, who conveyed him to Southwark Police-court. Mr. Pulsford attended on the part of the com pany, and by desire of Mr. Macgregor, the chairman of the board on the magistrate undertaking to see that the unfortu nate man was restored to the care of his friends, expressed the desire of the directors to take no further proceeding in the matter. It has been ascertained that Mr. Scott is a stndent for the Catholic priesthood, and that he was on his way from a collegiate institution at Calais to Liverpool, where his friends resided, when the above facts occurred.
