RELATIONS BETWEEN THE UNIVERSITY AND TOWN.
The syndicate, authorised by grace of the Senate, Oct.
19, 1855, "to take such steps as they might deem expe-
dient for the purpose of obtaining an act or acts of Par-
liament in conformity with the award of Sir John Patte-
son," beg leave to report to the Senate upon their pro-
ceedings up to the present time.:—
"Assisted by the advice of the University counsel,
they have given their best attention to the preparation
of a Parliamentary bill, which they now submit to the
Senate in a printed form. Besides some less important
deviationi which it exhibits from the exact terms of the
award, teere will be found one of a different character
and requiring some explanation. The committee of the
council of the borough introduced into the draft a clause
providing for the union of all the parishes in the borough
for the purpose of rating. But as this provision did not
form part of the actual award, the syndics, whatever
might be their opinion, felt themselves wholly prc-
cluded by the terms of their appointment from giving
any consent on behalf of the University to its forming
part of the bill. On the other hand, however, seeing
that the arbitrator, after having stated that it was not
within the scope of his authority to make any award to
this effect,' had proceeded to say that he 'strongly re-
commended that such a course should be adopted,' the
syndics did not think themselves authorised to decide
that the bill should not contain such a provision. They
thought that the University should pronounce its own
opinio❑ upon the question; and accordingly they left the
o ause in the draft:, in order that when a grace came to
be offered to the Senate for sealing the petitioa to Parlia.-
urea for leave to bring in the bill the University itself
might determine whether or not the clause should remain
in it. The syndics considered also that when the bill came
before Parliament, all persons, whether parties to the re-
ference or not, would be free to oppose this provision, if
they were so inclined. Moreover, this seemed to be the
most proper and respectful mode of inviting the formal
opinion of the arbitrator; and, in submitting the draft to
him for revi-ion, his attention was particularly directed
to this point. The draft has now been returned, and is
approved' by the arbitrator without any alteration
whatever. He 'agrees' not only to all the less impor-
tant deviations from his award, which have already been
adverted to, but also to the clauses respecting union
rating, of which he says that he thinks them very pro-
per, and quite agrees to them.' Of the whole proceed-
ings he says, that `if the result shall be, as he heartily
hopes is may, to secure peace and prosperity both to the
University and the town, he shall always rejoice in hav-
ing contributed to so desirable a consummation.'

Under the sanction of such authority the syndicate
beg leave to recommend to the Senate the adoption of
the bill as approved by the arbitrator.

STOCKS IN THE PRODUCE MARKETS.

The returns just completed of the stocks in the pro-
duce-markets at the commencement of December, com-
pared with those of the corresponding period of last
year, present no results materially different from those
of the preceding month. On the whole, they are still
less favourable, owing to the reduction consequent
upon the purchases made by the dealers during the
recent excitement, while there has as yet been little
time for the effects of high prices to become observable
either as regards increased importations or reduced con-
sumption. In relation to sugar, however, the compari-
son last month was 75,000 tons against 160.000 in No-
vember, 1854, showing a diminution of 85,000 tons.
This month it is 57,000 toss against 128,000 tons,
and consequently, although the stock is smaller, the
comparative diminution is only 71,000 tons. The same
process has been observable in the instance of cotton,
the stock of which has diminished durieg the month
109,653 bales, while the deficiency, as compared with
last year, which was 260,650 bales on the Ist ult., is
now only 165,343. Subjoined are the respective
totals :

CHARGE{ OF FRAUD AGAINST A SOLICITOR. —On Sa-
turday, at the Brighton Borough Sessions, Henry Rich-
ardson, aged 44, described as a solicitor, of 25, Lin-
coln's-inn-fields, London, was charged with having at
Brighton, on the 3d of November, obtained by false pre-
tences, by a cheque on the Brighton Union Baelc, the
sum of 2/. 15s. 6d., with intact to defraud. The R -
corder having summed up favourably towards the pri-
soner, observing that there had been some groum'a
shown for the prisoner's belief that a small cheque would
be honoured, the jury, after a few minutes' deliberation,
returned a verdict of acquittal, and the foreman said tl e
jury were desirous that the bankers should be requested
never to allow cheque books to go abroad in such a
loose manner, to the detriment of tradespeople.
[It.DVERTISEMENT.F-IL is with pleasure we notice the daily
in _rease of cures without medicine of indigestion (dyspepsia),
flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver com-
plaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility, by Du
Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica. We quote the follow-
ing : —Southwick Park, Farehani, Hants, Oct. 31, 1848.
Gentlemen, I sincerely thank you for your kind attention.
When I began taking the Revalenta 1 was in as deplorable a
condition as can well be imagined. I was confined to my bed,
and so weak that I could neither stand nor walk, suffering
severely front flatulency, constipation, and indigestion, and
being compelled to have recourse to aperients every s coed or
third day; and, upon one occasion, I swallowed no less than
seven doses within twenty-eight hours, under medical advice.
There was a giddiness in my head, and a singing in my right
ear, that when I turned my head on the pillow it resembled
the sound produced by a light touch on a musical glass. I
had a pain and sort of fullness across the chest, a sore throat,
and a slight cough ; but the pain around my loins was so
great that I could not remain in the same position for ten
minutes all night long. The principal seat of the pain seemed
to be just below the ribs on my left side, and about three
inches from the backbone. I commenced taking Du Barry's
Revalenta Arabica morning and evening, boiled in water and
salt ; and in less than a fortnight my appetite was greatly
i-aproved, and flatulency and constipation so far vanished
hat I have not tasted a pill or drug of any kind
since. I am much stronger, can walk steadier, and
less like a drunken man, &c. —JOHN VASS, Land-steward.-
