THE RIGHT HON. SPENCER WALPOLE.
TO THE lIIIMES OF THE SENATE OF THE UNIVERSITY

OT CAXBRIDOE.
GENTLEAILE,--lier Majesty having been pleased
to confer upon me the aloe of Secretary of State for the
Home Department, a vacancy has occurred in the represen-
tation of our University.
In offering myself as a candidate to fill up that vacancy,
I lope I have done nothing to destroy the confidence hitherto
reposed in me, either by the soosptance of the high ettuation
to which I have referred, or by the conduct which I have felt
It my duty to panne in parliament.
Bad I reunited my own personal wishes, I should in-
finitely have preferred to do my best to serve the university
in the House of Commons as en unofficial and independent
member, but since I was constrained, on grounds already
made known to the public, to join in a vote which has bad
the effect of displacing one government, I should not have
been justified in refusing sesistance—euch assistance as I can
honestly give—towards the formation and rapport of
another.
As soon as the duties nectimarfiy incident to the assump-
tion of aloe will enable me to pay my respects to you in
person, I hope to have the benenr and pleasure of doing so.
In the meantime permit ma to solicit the kind favour of
your continued support, awl bailers me always, with heart-
felt gratitude and sincere reepeet,—Your faithful and obe-
dient, humble servant, 8. H. WALPOI.I.
