This morning the tier. Charles Henry Hell,
D.P. nits iu•talled Deal of the Cathedral Church
of Christ, in this Cusversity. This cerensony took
plAce at. ten o'clock, and was remarkable, from the
naintieraif distu.guished persons who attended it,
in complimAlt to the new Dun, who is universally
beloved, and highly respected as a profuuud scholar
and accornplislied Gentleman.
Had it not been fur the circumstance of Lord
Grenville being'itow a candidate fur the Chancel;
lurship, that Nob!email, who is the distinguished
°raiment of this College, iutended to hate been
ptesesit at this hituttlehtui.
The service was performed by the Rev. S. Stan.
ton, Precentor of the Cathedral ;
.an office which
he has tilled with peat respectability fur missy years.
The oaths of fealty and allegiance were aduiiois-
tered to the Draw by the Rev. Or. Barton, the
senior Comm, in most dignified ineimer ; after
which, Mr. Robert *Murre•ih the worthy Registrar,
read aloud, in an audible %coke. the King's Letters
Potent, recommending Dr. Hall's election.

The canvass for the Chancellorship of Oxford is
now carried on very warmly. It her beets errone-
ously stated, that the Achbi►hup of York favours
the Duke of Beaufort. His Grace, and the
Bishops of I. lon. St. Asaph, mid Oxfords are
the strenuous alvoeutes of Lord Grenville.. The
inujority of Christ-Church is certainly in (*your Of
his Lordship, with the two learned Censors, Dr.
Webber and Dr. Corn, at the head of the pony.
Professors White and Atterbur), with Mr. Plimens
Smelt and Meier,. Tarpley anti llanbury. have not
yet declared themselves. The Vire-Chancellor,
with the whole of Uuiversity-College. St.Sohn's
and Wortester, are the Patrons of Lord Eldon.
The Duke of Beaufort has a very consider.Sie
party in most of the other Colleges.
The ladies. though it may be doubted whether
quite cousistrot with propriety, are extremely
active.
