UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL

A paragraph has appeared in the London papers,
to the effect that the authorities of Kings College,
Cambridge, have just resolved that their men shall go into
the Senate Haase Ezaminstinn equally with the men of
the other colleges." We have authority to state that this
announcement is at least premature, although it is not im-
probable that some such step will be taken before long.—

Tree Itze. J. KENRICK, whose name has been so
prominently brought before the public in consequence of
his refusal to bury, at Chichester, a dissenting minister and
a poor woman who had destroyed herself in a tit of insanity,
has resigned the vicarages of St. Peter the Great, Chiches-
ter, value 150/., and of North Maiden, value SW. ; to which
the Rev. T. Ilayly has been promoted.—Hampshire Tek-

WEDSZ.DAT NtOHT, 12 o'CLocn.--Sonic books Were
opened to-night on the Dee Stakes, and Vermuth backed
freely at 3 to I, and Hippolytus and Deceitful at 6 to 1
each ; 10 to I offered agst Lightfoot. A doubt about Mountain
Deer and the Black Doctor starting prevented any offers to
lay against or back them.

Tr.?. Cur.—ln the remarks sent from the course we
omitted to mention that 111 .WSW, Due an D 111.117" Back-
biter, and Yorkyou're.wanted, passed the winning chair
so close together that many were in doubt which had the
best of it; Rhesus had the merest trifle the best of it, and
Due au Uhurras just beat Backbiter and York-you're-
wanted. Russborough was well up. It is singular that
when the Handicap came out the three-year olds were
generally considered to be very badly in—yet they run first,
second, and third Red Deer is the only three year-old
winner of the Cup before this Tear.
A more successful Cup Day in every respect has seldom
been recorded; one are we aware that a single accident
occurred to mar its enjoyment. An hour or two after,
however, a frightful collision took place in the Frodsharn
Tunnel of the )lanchester and Warrington Line, about 11
miles from Chester, by which five or six persons lost their
live., and twelve or fourteen were severely injured. The
strident was caused by two trains having come to a stand-
still for want of steam, and the signal nut hating been given
in time to stop the express train. The tunnel being com-
pletely stopped, the passengers had to return to Chester,
and proceed to their destination by Crewe, many of them
not getting home before three in the morning. One of the
killed was Mr.. Ridgway, of Belmont, near Bolton, a lady
of large property.
THUM/MAY.6 RACM.

Paying and revering on the Cup took place, or rather
commenced, this morning, and, as far as it has gone, is
satisfactory; several heavy accounts, however, base to be
settled in town on Monday. The majority of the round
better. arc beers, amongst them Mr Davis, the extento
whose operation• may be guessed when we mention that he
laid 20,000/. to 4501. against the winner, in two bets, besides
others of large amount. Ile also stood 30,000 to 230 against
the Black Doctor winning the Cup and Derby. It is noto-
rious that the greater portion of the money won goes into
the pockets of parties who, for obvious reasons, have fur
some time been out of the ring. The card to-day contained
seven races, one more than either of the preceumg, and in
the Dee Stakes possessed a feature of more than ordinary
interest. The fold, it will be seen, was large, including
the names of the Mountain Deer, Vermuth, Ilippolytus,
and the mysterious Lightfoot, for whom the " public "
have for a lung period shown a most unaccountable loud-
ness. The result had the instant effect of raising Hippo-
lytus and Bonnie Dundee to 30 to I each fur the Derby, and
ut the name time proved beyond a doubt that Lightfoot is
•of the greatest impostors ever brought to the post. We
have only time to add, that the weather was delightful, the
attendance large, and the sport excellent.
