UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

THE VACANT CHANCELLORSHIP.
OXFORD, WEDNESDAY,—Much dissatisfaction has been
excited among resident M.A.'s, by the move in favour of
Lurd Derby, and this dissatisfaction has not been dimi-
nished by the character of the names appended to the
requisition which is to be presented to him. This feel-
ing extends to men of very different parties, and is irre-
spective of any personal preference for any other can-
didate. We understand that a protest against Lord
Derby's nomination is being circulated for signature,
while steps aro being taken to ascertain whether the
sense of the electors will permit another candidate to be
started with a prospect of success.

ADELHIII T.HEATRE—EDINBURGH.
Davenport is now " starring" it, to the admiration
of her Majesty's lieges in the good old city of Edin-
burgh. He has wisely appeared, however, not at the
Theatre Royal, opposite the Register house, at the
south-east corner of Princes-street, almost imme-
diately under the shadow of Calton Hill, but at the
beautiful little Adelphi of " Auld Ueekie," situated
in Broughton-street, at the head of Leith-walk—
" wisely,' we say, because the latter house appears
to be at this moment flourishing under a very judi-
cious and enterprising management. On Monday
evening, the 20th instant, the domestic drama of
Alice Gray; or, The Suspected One, was performed
for the first time at the Adelphi of Edinburgh. The
cast, in all essential
egntiarlraersdpecto respects,
the
es
scenery,really the
admi-
rable while,
dresses, and the appointments, the piece would
have done credit to almost any theatre
in the British metropolis. Considering it was the
" first night," the whole of the three acts may with
the strictest accuracy be said to have gone off to ad-
miration. Several stars of lesser magnitude than the
one already mentioned took part in the proceedings,
Mr. Lloyd appearing as Jeremy Jenkinson from
Norton Folgate—in which character, although he dis-
played little of that stolid facetiousness which would
have provoked laughter through the vagaries of
Wright, or of Keeley, or of Buckstone, the provin-
cial numourist seemed to walk the stage an accepted
and decided favourite. Incomparably the best among
the whole group of actors taking part in the melo-
drama was Mr. H. Webb as Cadger Collins—his
make-up" being perfect, his grin (nearly as broad,
) diabolically delightful, and his per-
ipnetfuaat trlossiunrafnlinces through the grin, and the rags,
and the vagabondism, "My precious brother—l'll
never leave you," being about as painfully delicious
in look, voice, and gesture, as though it were some
affectionate vampire haunting the footsteps of the un-
lucky Jenkinson. Every leer was the signal for a
roar—and the sort of goblin dance performed by the
cadger in the Cornflower Inn, at the village of Heath-
field; was a genuine " screanaer," such as proved Mr.
Webb to be a "droll" of unconscionable merit. Mr.
Verner, as Chrystal Baxter the Ostler, although
somewhat exaggerated both in make-up and in man-
ner, was altogether a most sweet knave and a most
excellent villain—bearing in his second dress, indeed,
a strong family likeness to a gentleman not to be
mentioned to ears polite, approving himself in fact a
worthy disciple of our incomparable 0. Smith, that
Prince of the land of It ascaldom. Mr. Wyndham,
the lessee of the establishment, looked the very "pink
of politeness," not only in the colour of his coat, but
in all other particulars, in the person of Mr. Caleb
Kit, the celebrated Professor of Dancing, Toxophical,
and Calisthenic Exercises—acting almost as "hand-
somely" as he looked, and being spoilt only
when reduced to a state of intoxication. His
wife, although tutored to the part of the heroine
by a " study" of a very few hours' notice, infused
into the character of Alice Gray a great deal of pa-
thetic passion, though she did not look it as Mr. E.
D. Lyon's looked the hero of the piece, the young
village smith, Harry Hammerton. At the fall of the
curtain the cadger—grin and all—was called before
the footlights by acclamation. Davenport only ap-
peared subsequently in the Pictorial Drama, repre-
senting in a series of tableaux The Betting Boy's
Career, a dramatic sketch pointing a moral, if not
adorning a tale, that would be acceptable to the hu-
mane heart of George Cruikshank. The character—
deplorably unworthy of him from its insignificance—
assumed in this piece by Davenport is that of Rough
Redland, an English rustic, a part interesting at
least, inasmuch as it served to illustrate the versa-
tility of the accomplished American. At the larger
theatre of Edinburgh—the one in Princes-street—
the company (very inferior to the company at the
Adelphi) are perfbrming a dramatic version of
" Waverley," followed by Gomersal as Bill Downey,
' in The Unfinished Gentleman.

TUE IJEITISU MUSLIM—The bronze railings in
front of the British Museum, which have been several
months in the course of erection, are at length completed.
A few days ago the gilding of the last rail was finished and
the movable shed in which the workmen were placed while
executing their work was removed. On the extensive area
between the railings and the building a number of labourers
are employed in the formation of a square, either side of
which is protected by a atone wall, which is stated to be for
a shrubbery. Some alterations have taken place amongthe galleries. The slabs from Assyria, which were in an
underground room, are being assorted in galleries adjoining
the Lycean gallery, called the "central edifice Nimroud,"
" the north-west edifice Nimroud," and the " south-west
edifice Nimroud." The statues and other relics in the gal-
lery in the left room from the grand entrance are being re-
moved.
LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—Yes.
terday morning a portion of the Victoria Tunnel, which runs
under Byron-street, Liverpool, gave way, and fell in to the
extent of about three feet. No accident occurred.
MONSTER MAIL TO INDIA.-011 Monday morning

patched from the Waterloo terminus of the South-Western
Railway. It consisted of 173 boxes of letters, four portman.

ANALYSIS OF THE CESAREWITCH
HANDICAP.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUIV.
Sin.—The Cesarewitch Stakes sprang into existence
in 1839: it was one of the immediate consequences of
the visit of the heir to the Russian throne to this
country, the Grand Duke Cesarewitcn then announcing
that he would, in commemoration of his sojourn lit New-
market, give 300 sous. annually to be run for.
there. This was the start of the great hand.
cap, which was won the first year by Lord Mil-
town's celebrated Cruiskeen, then five years
old, with the feather weight, for that age, of 6st 61b
In 1840, Clarion, then four years old, carried it off with
Bst 41b on his back. In 1841 Iliona (whose name) was
rendered so notorious at the time by the numerous
heavy bets on the correct pronunciation of it) then four
years old, won cleverly, carrying Est 111 b. In 1842
Arcanus, 3 yrs, sst 41b. was the victor. In 1843, Cor-
ranna, 4 yrs, 7st 111 h, did the like. In 1844, Faugh.a-
Bullagb, with the tremendous weight, for a three yrs
old, of Bst up, did the trick cleverly; The Baron follow-
ing suit in 1845 with only 51b less. The other winners
stand GS follow:-1846, Wits-end, 3 yrs, Gst 21b;
1847, Caromh, 4 yts, ist; 1848, The Cur, 6 yrs, Bst 31b;
1849, Legerdemain, 3 yrs, sst 71b; 1850, Glauea, 4 yrs,
7st 71h; and last year Mrs. Taft, 6 yrs, 6it. It will be
seen by the foregoing that the six years old division
have carried this plate off twice; the five years old
only once; the four years old five times, and.the juveniles
five times also. It we arc to take this us auy criterion
to judge by, the three and four years old are the ages
best suited to produce a winner.
This is the second year that the Grand Duke Cesare-
witch has_discontinued his annual
gift; the three hun-
dred is now added from the Jockey Club fund, and is
more than made up from the hundred and fifty-four
entrance fees of two sous. each; so that the club is an
actual gainer of eight pounds.
This stake is a free handicap (or what is termed such)
of 25 EMS. each, 15 ft, with 300 added, Cesarewitch
course—two miles one furlong and 215 yards—with
penalties for winning various stakes, which will affect
Lady Evelyn and Kingston to the extent of Gibs each fcr
their victories at Doncaster._

Oat of the hundred and fifty-four entries, the owners
of fifty-two have declared themselves satisfied with the
treatment their animals have received at the handi-
capper's hand; and, in the. there being any ordinary course of things, as
there is no probability of
favourite, a good field may be looked for at the post.
DILLY'S LOT very great

have entitled him to some consideration, but for the fact
that the Knight of the Shiro seems to

appropriate all
,-.
the attentions of the stable for this race. A
RIOBTO, 4
yrs, Bst, is weighted a little too heavily. FRANTIC,

3 yrs, 7st 81b, they say is not capable of conceding two
stone to the Knight of the Shire. The RNIGHT OF THE
SHIRE, 3 yrs, sst 81b, made his first appearance this
year at Ascot, where, carrying Est 91b, he ran nowhere
to Ephesus, 4 yrs, Est 121 b, for the Royal Hunt Cup.
On the Friday following, carrying 7st 41b, he ran a very
so-so sixth to Tophana, 7st, for the Great Western
Plate. His next essay was at Goodwood, where, with
Est 21b up, he ran a good fifth to Kilmeney, en for
131 b,
the Stewards' Cup. His last performance was for the
Chesterfield Cup, when, with sst 121 b up, h,
was com-
pletely beaten of. With the exception of the Great
Western Plate—which is run over the Swinley
course, about a mile and a half—the other
races were short distances ; a mile and under.
It is said that this son of Sr
Hercules
Splitvote is much better adapted to a long nnnvse
such
as the Cesarewitch, than a short one. Giving Mr.
Payne and the other members of the stable due credit
for their judgment in the matter, I cannot help thinking,
without they have got good grounds to go upon, that the
Knight's chance, considering his previous performances,
is any thing but a rosy one, although weighted so very
lightly; but as the stable is in luck, and the members by
no means persons who throw away their cash, I shall
hold their representative in some little respect.

grounds he was handicapped at 7st 131 b I cannot ima-
gine; they would seem to be trying to make us believe
that he was only llb inferior to Faugh-a-Ballagh when he

badly bred, being by Trueboy, dam by Actmon, out of
Beatrice, good blood on both sides for a distance. He
made his debut this year at Catterick Bridge, where,
carrying Est 41b, he was a very bad fourth to Puritan,
same age and weight, for the Speculation Plate, one
mile and a half. At Durham he ran third in the first
heat for the Maiden Plate, to Miss Flyaway, 4 yrs, Bst
21b, and was afterwards drawn . At Newcastle he was no
where for the Corporation Plato, won by another horse
in the same stable, Chief Justice. This race, of course,
counts for nothing. His performances, hitherto exe-
crable, began to improve at Carlisle; where, carrying
4st 81b, he ran second to the Red Lion for the Cum-
berland Plate, two miles four hundred yards. He
then walked over for the Lottery Stakes at the
same meeting. At Lancaster, carrying sst he
passed the rubicon by winning tho Cup by a
neck, beating John of Berwick, 5 yrs; ist 31b ; Little
Fawn, 4 yrs, Est 131 b ; Gholab Singh, 4 yrs, 7st, and
four others, At the same place, with sst 131 b up, he
was an indifferent fourth to Wilmont, 5 yrs, 6st
31b, for the Revival Handicap (two miles). At Notting-
ham, with 6st up, he won the Nottinghamshire
Handi-
bap, two miles two furlongs, by half a neck, beating
Lady Amyott, 3 yrs, 6st 11b, who had a head the ad-
vantage of Goldtinder, 4 yrs, 7st lolb; Ischia, 4 yrs,
6st 91b, and Colsterdale, 4 yrs, 7st 121 b, were fourth
and fifth. At the same meeting, carrying 6st 71b, he
was a very good fourth to Candlewick, 5 yrs, 6st 131 b,
for the Chesterfield Handicap (one mile and a half). At
Wolverhampton, with sst 91b up, he was a moderate
third to Weathergage, 3 yrs, 6st 51b. fur the Wolver-
hampton Stakes (above two miles and a quarter). His
last performance was a ridiculous affair, having been
started against Stockwell for the Great Yorkshire
Stakes. I have entered at some length into the doings
of this horse, on account of the important part
ho is likely to play in the betting. If he i
can give Lerrywhent half a stone, ho s de-
cidedly a dangerous horse for this race. I

upon his chance; and not a little of it came from 3 per-

PRINCE OF WALES YACHT CLUB.

The fifth and last match of the summer amongst the
yachts of this very popular club took place yesterday
for a handsome cup, but owing to the lateness of the
season no steam-boat was chartered to accompany the
race: there were, however, a number of gentlemen's
yachts out with the company. The following had been
entered to contend:—
Valentine, 8 tons, Mr. B. Wallis.
Rebecca, 3 tons, Mr. W. Gibbs.
Albatross, 7 tons, Mr. Barncastle.
"(Incline, 5 tons, Mr. Cooper.
Idas, 6 tons, Mr. Knibbs.
Julia, 7 tons, Mr. Hutchinson.
Britannia, 7 tons, Mr. Legg.
The distance was from Blackwall to Gravesend and
back, and Mr. Barncastle,`, the commodore, assisted by
Mr. Gordon, the secretary, having seen the little fleet
were all at their berths, the start was effected at a quar-
ter to twelve. There was a light wind from the west
north-west, and they started on their course with a
flowing sheet. The Julia had the lead, and held it
down to Woolwich Point. where the Valentine passed
per to the windward. The Julia, however, kept close
in her wake, and rendered the match down very interest-
ing, but the Valentine arrived first at Gravesend, at
about two o'clock, a minute and a half a head of the
Julia, the Albatross and Britannia being close up. The
wind was foul on the return, but there was so :little of
it, that the affair grew very tedious, the race not con-
eluding till after dark. The Valentine gallantly main-
tained her lead, and won by .a quarter of an hour. The
Julia was second, about six minutes ahead of the Al-
batross.

CHESTER REGATTA.
This regatta took place on the Dee on Tuesday, with
great éclat. The day was on the whole fine, though,
from the heavy rain which fell during the previous
night, Deva's banks were too damp for the delicate feet
of the fair Cestrians who usually attend these events.
The gentry had provided sufficient amusement, so far as
races were concerned, for the greatest lover of boating,
there being about 20 races. The first took place at
noon, and when the moon's beams began to illuminate
the horizon the last had not come off.
