Ocrossa 5.

Oa Friday a successor to Professor Poison is to
be appointal. Dr. Burney. of Greessisioh. has
oirereil himself as a Candidate. No mon treads
closer to the late Professor than he does.; but his
distance from the University is the reason, and can
be the only reason, shy he is not unanimously
elected. Three others have been started, Mr.
Kaye, of Christ College, late Secretort tal Lord
Henry Petty ; Mr. Monk, and Mr. Doloree, both
of "frinity College. The last is in Guernsey, his
riativssisland; and, therefore, though he yields to
none of his competitors in qualification, has pro-
usoly little chance of success.
Between the two remaining Candidates it is dif-
ficult to decide. ThvEiretars are the ice.Chan-
("Mori the Master, and the two Senior Fellow* of
Trinity; the Provost of King's, the Master of
Christ s, and the Master of St. „lobo's. The three
El-ctors of Trinity are of great weight, but si COU111.•
terpoise is often obtained by the junction of the
others.

of the most spleenful of the kind rive exhibited in
the county of Durham. The great variety of con-
fectionary, interspersed oith every delicacy the sea-
son could produce, had a most brilliant appear-
ance. The models in butter were well executed,
and hail a pleasing effect, particularly The Fax
Hamad: in fall Chase, the Death, and A Lion end
Tao Swans, which reelected great credit on the abi-
lities of Mr. 13e11, of this town, us a confectioner.
Alt the rooins were very beautifully decorated with
variegated lamps, interspersed with flowers and
evergreens, which had a grand effect, and astonish-
ed every person present. After supper the dancing

spint till a very Late hour, when the company de-
parted, highly gratified with the very polite atten-
tion paid them by every part of the family at Met-
ton. On the following day, the tenants of Mr.
Lyon were must hospitality entertained in the old
English style. A merry dance heightened the fes-
tivity of the evening, and every thiog concluded
with the greatest harmony. A grand display of
lire-works took place on Wednesday, Thursday
and Fridayerenings, highly entertaining to thesur.
