CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 23.
Notwithstanding the inclement state of the weather,
his Royal Highness the Chancellor was out early this
morning. At ten o'clock he visited King's College,
where the magnificent chapel and library were inspected.
The Senate-house began to fill by half-past ten, and
before eleven o'clock the galleries were crowded with
undergraduates. From the judicious arrangements
which had been made, less inconvenience was ex-
perienced than might have been expected, the ladies
being admitted at a side entrance. Punctually at eleven
o'clock the Royal carriages arrived, and the Prince, in
his robes of office, accompanied by the Vice-Chancellor,
Dr. Geldart, with the Duke of Brabant, Ceunt Lansnoy,

and assistel in passing the different supplicate and
graces relating to the business of the day.
The following supplicat was then presented by the
Public Orator :—" Corn Princeps Celsissimus, Dux Bra-
bantim, Leopoldi Belgarum Regis Filius natu maximus,
honoribus vestris augeri velit, placeat vobis ut Cesissi-
mus Princeps prwdieatus, habits natalium et dignitatis
ratione, cooptetur in ordinem Doctorum in Jure Civili."
This having duly passed the non-regent and regent
houses, the Public Orator presented the Duke, address.
ing the Chancellor and Senate in a very eloquent Latin
speech. He began by congratulating the University
upon the great interest shown by his Royal Highness
and the endeavours made by him to promote the learn-
ing, arts, and science of the British nation ; and, after

His Royal Highness then adjourned the congregation
till 2 o'clock, and proceeded to the lecture-room of Pro-
fessor Willis (the Jacksonian Professor). The subject
was the machinery used in the manufacture of ropes,
which was admirably illustrated by working models.
At 2 o'clock the Prince visited and inspected the public
library, and at 3 went through the Observatory. After
having visited as many of the colleges as his time would
permit, he finally left by special train at 4 o'clock.
With the exception of the severity of the weather, his
Royal Highness's visit has gone off most satisfactorily.
Dr. Tatham, the Master of St. John's College, yes-
terday met with an accident while inspecting some works
at the Senate-house. A piece of wood on which he was
standing gave way, and be received a severe blow upon
his head, hut he is not considered in any danger.
The Vice-Chancellor presided at the Congregation at
2 o'clock, when the following degrees were conferred:—

STATE OF TRADE.

HALIFAX, NOV. 19.—The worsted trade in our piece
hall is still in a very unsatisfactory state. The demand
is exceedingly limited, and prices are quite unremu-
ner,tive. The aspect of the yarn market has under-
gone no noticeable change. The spinners are compelled
to curtail their operations ; and they feel that, with the
present price of the raw material, lower rates can-
not be acceded to. As the goods in the hands of the
staplers are low, the money market somewhat easier, and
the rates asked by the growers very high, wool has rea-
lised an advance ; but the transactione not ext a
ebnsetterive.
HUDDERSFIELD, Nov 22.—There ha s are
s been
demand for goods to-day than last week, although there
has not been any large quantity sold. Merchants have
generally offered
prices that the manufacturers were un-
willing to take, as the reduction would have been more
than the recent fall in the price of wool would admit of.
A fair business has been done in some of the wool ware-
houses.
