CRANE'S BENEFACTION.—In a recent paper we alluded
to a pamphlet by the Rev. J. JAcxsox„containing an extract
from the will of the late John Crane; and we subjoin from the
University Calendar, some account of the noble bequest, as far
as it regards this University and town :
John Crane, apothecary in Cambridge, and M.A. died in
1664, and left by his will money to buy an estate of * £62 per ann.
to be settled on the five Corporations following, viz. the Uni-
%ersity of Cambridge, the towns of Wisbeach, Cambridge,
Lynn, and Ipswich t. The rents to be received in order, and to
be applied by the University in their turn towards the relief of
sick scholars. The distribution to be made by the Vice-Chan-
cellor, the Professors of Divinity, Law, and Physic, and the chief
Apothecary of the town. The Master of Caius college is requested
to assist the distributors. The gift to the town is to be disposed
of in lending freely 201. to three young men to set them
up in trade, they giving good security to repay the same at the
end of twenty years. The choice to be by the Vice-Chancellor,
the three Professors of Divinity, Law, and Physic, the chief
Apothecary, the Mayor, Recorder, and three Aldermen, or
the greater part of them. This disposal of the donation to the
town is to continue till the fund amounts to 2001. which is to be
employed in lending 201. to ten young men at intervals, and to
be repaid at the end of twenty years, and again lent as before.
The excess of the fund above 2001. is to be employed in the re-
lief of persons confined for debt, and of poor men and women
of good character, at the discretion of the above mentioned
Trustees.

* The present rent of the estate is above £3OO per annum.
t The first payment was made about the year 1660..

PEDE ST RIANIS3I.--MI. WEST, the celebrated runner,.
started on Wednesday morning, to go on foot from London to
Salisbury, and return by the Bath road, after touching at War-'
minster, in three successive days. The route is 212 miles,
making near 71 miles per day. This pedestrian is one of the
great Powell stamp, whose walk is five miles an hour, but he
occasionally indulges in some lounges at the rate of nine miles
an hour. He had. performed 80 miles at ten o'clock on Wed-
nesday night, when he went to rest. He started at two o'clock
on Thursday morning, and at six in the evening he had done
52 miles, and was going on well, making for a friend's house
on the London side Ilungerford. Time was the favourite
yesterday. The time for his arrival at Kensington, where he
finishes, is three o'clock this morning (Saturday).
TROTTING MAT CHE s.—The great Trotting Match which
occupies much attention in the sporting world will take place
on Monday, on Sunbury Common. The Match is, that
the horse belonging to Mr. Willan, which beat the slate-
coloured horse, the best of the newly-imported 'Americans,
three miles lately, is backed to trot three miles within nine
minutes, and to carry ten stone. The odds are on time:—
On the same day, Captain Halford undertakes, for two hun-
dred guineas, for his horse to trot eight miles in half an hour ;
and again, for one hundred guineas, that a horse, his bona fide
property,. shall trot sixteen miles within an hour. To carry
11 stone in the first match, and 10 stone in the second.—Bet-
ting is 2 to 1 that he does not win both.

Thursday the remains of Sir HENRY ENGLE..
FIELD, .Bart., were removed from his house, in
Tilney-street, Park-lane, with great funeral
pomp, for interment in the family vault at White
Knights, in Berkshire. Sir Henry was the
seetiOd oldest of the English Baronets. The
title becomes extinct.
