CAMBRIDG E, DEC. 5.

(From the Cambridge Chroninele.)
Mr. BANKES, the newly-elected Member, after
paying his respects not only to his numerous supporters in the
late contest, but also to the University at large, left Cambridge_
on Tuesdaay morning. The affability and gentlemanly demea'
nour of Mr. Bankes, united with the ease and information dig'
played in his conversational powers, have made an inipressi°
which will not soon be forgotten ; and it affords us pleasure
to hear, that it is his intention to reside some part Il
ci
the year among his constituents, in a place so -
suited to his literary pursuits. Mr. Scarlett, immediately after'
the election, returned to town, where we hope he will find hill;
self more profitably employed, in conning o'er to-morrof
brief, than in stepping forward to advocate the cause of a poor'

forms so small a portion of the Members df the Senate. l'°t
er.
Hervey left the Banks of the Cam on Saturday, not for VI
pool, as reported, but for the seat of his ancestors, near BOY St
Edmund's.—Having already alluded to the state of feeling inwe
University, on the result of the contest, we shall briefly notice J,
or two remarks of a London Morning Paper. That Journ7f
not content with endeavouring to east a slur on the liter_;,
character and enterprising spirit of the successful candidate,. ;a
at the same time, insinuated, that he owes the distinguls the
station in which he is now placed, to the_ effect pro'duced by
watch-word "No Popery," independent of every other pc,'ll,
tical principle; and concludes its inconclusive statement '4111,11
an expression of tender sorrow, that the education of the Y?e,4
of England is monopolized by two Universities, now upon t not
in point of liberality. In reply to these observations, co
hesitate to assert, that Mr. Bankes was supported, not sold
that important question which so deeply atrects a ProteS de,
University, but also on account of the Open, manly, ,a tire'
cided avowal of those political principles, which evince n" we,

The insidious sneer of the patriotic' jourral is what 113 geesnaturally expected, and is so much of a piece with its than
remarks on the most sacred institutions of our country
we shall pass it by with the contempt it merits' n the
deed were we inclined to notice the repeated attacks
of that
church establishment with which the columns ° oar-
paper almost daily abound, we should impose 011 wir
selves the task of unfolding such a tissue of inaccuraeN the
representation, and malevolence, as is not often exhibittdielh the
lucubrations of a literary Chronicle. The interest Ne"

pression of the Poll was disposed of in two days, and a ,T,entic
edition has already appeared. We find, by this allZ, are

possessed of the elective suffrage for a Representative in pro
liament, nine voted for Mr. Bankes, (no for Lord HerveNceo
for Mr. Scarlett, and three did not vote at all. We hae
permitted to extract the followin,
