The election of Mr. BANKES to represent the

4garded as an important triumph for the best
nterests of this great Protestant country. It is
subject of congratulation to find, that, by its
itchoice of a Representative, this Learned Body
.44 so unequivocally manifested its determina-.
tiob
to uphold the PROTESTANT ASCENDANCY, as
hlaw established. On the present occasion

the

of

,friendship or private interest can induce
the Electors upon whom that principle is im-
pressed, to compromise it when they are called
to exercise their elective franchise. At the
present moment, though from the unhappy situa-

cessary causes of irritation, it is impossible
to see that there exists, both in that

CAMBRI6‘G.B 'ELECTION.

(From the Cambridge "ihroniele.)

CAMBRIDGE, NOV. 28.—The 'election of a Re-
presentative in Parliament-for this University,in
the room of• the late Mr. SMYTH, commenced on
Tuesday morning. Having stated in our last that
very great interest had been excited by the ap-.
proaching contest, the termihation of which was
reitdered exceedingly' doubtful, from the cir-
cumstance of three of the Candidates being of
nearly the same political opinions, we have
now to add, that the intensity 'of this feeling
was greatly increased at a late period of the
canvas, by the resignation of . Mr. It, GRANT.
This Gentleman, finding that his prospects of
success were not sufficiently promising to justify
his perseverance 'at the present conjuncture, sig-
nified his intention of withdrawing on Saturday,
in a circular letter, which haS already appeared
in THE So v.. Independent of the, feelings of
partiality with which the friends of each candi
date viewed the cause which they had espoused,
speculations were now afloat as to the extent to
which Mr. GRANT'S resignation would severally
affect them ; .add according to the different
lights in which this occurrence was considered,
each perty felt more or less 'secure in the issue of

the contest. In the course of Monday, Carri'ap;es
were rolling into the town from various parts
of the kingdom, and on Tuesday the bustle
and animation every where visible announced

that Alma Mate' was again about to receive
the greetings of her long-absenCsotis, and, from,
their numbers and the characters which they
sustain, in society, very forcibly brought to recol-
lection that. ancient memorial of her renown—
" Hine Lucem et pocula sacra."—The note of
preparation, both long and loud, which had beeri
sounded all over the kingdom, excited not only
interest and expectation among the Sons of Science,
but even entered into the buiy haunts of the po-
litical and commercial world. The proceedings
which generally take place 'on occasions when
Englishmen exercise one of. the most glorious
privileges of their birth-right, • gave rise in
many quarters to a supposition that
that
would this day have witnessed that display
of 'eloquence which might be expected from
the acquirements of the candidate's and of
their zeal Ons friends; and although the Mem-
bers of the UniverSity are aware that such a pro-
tedure. is neither sanctioned by the • practide nor
supposed to be consistent with the dignity of this
learned body, yet the. occurrences at the last
contested election in the sister University led
many persons to conjecture that similar conduct
would have been pursued on this occasion. Ifow-
ever, at ten o'clock on Tuesday morning,' the
election commenced in the Senate House, accord-

ing to established custom, the Vice-Chancellor,
Proctors, and a junior D.D. standing in scrutiny
to receive the votes. The polling was carried on
with spirit until three o'clock, when an adjourn-
ment took place; and at six the polling recom-
menced, and was continued until ten, when
the business was adjourned till the next
day. On Wednesday morning, at nine o'clock,
the poll recommenced, and although the num-
bers in the Senate house were less than on the
preceding day, yet votes continued to be re-
ceived until two o'clock, when an adjournment
took place until six. The poll was re-opened at
that hour, and was continued until ten o'clock,
when it t nally closed. The crowd assembled
during the evening was very great, and whilst
the votes were separated and counted (which oc-,
cupied nearly an hour) the most intene anxiety
was manifested. At eleven o'clock the numbers
were declared to be,
For Mr Bankes 419
Lord Hervey - , 281
Mr. Scarlett - 219
Majority in favour of Mr. Bankes -138
The announcement of the numbers was -re,
ceived with reiterated shouts of 'applause.
Thus ended'a contest, almost unexampled in
the annals of the UniversitY; and as we have,
from the commencenient of, the canvass, made
our observations on the passing events of the
day, we shall perhaps not trespass too much upon
our readers by adding ' a few, remarks on the
result' of this arduous contest. ln the first place,

it affords us sincere pleasure to congratulate the
University at large, and the'Clergy in particular,
on the return of Mr. Bankes as their Represen-
tative. Cambridge men appear on this occasion
to have felt, that the eyes of the world were upon
them, and that it was ready, at this juncture,

either to applaud their firml consistency, or to,
fling in their teeth the taunting rebuke of insin-
cerity, on a question which they have long pro-
fessed to consider of the most vital importance;
and by the manner in which they haw acted, on
the present occasion, they have shown, not only
in word but in deed, that they consider the place
and principles' of their education really and
fundamentally Protestant: We congratulate Mr.
Bankes, too, on the distinguished honour which
has proved the reward of the open, manly and
undisguised avow'al of his sentiments, and to
assure him that his supporters ' feel confident
that he will, by similar conduct in the House
of Commons, prove himself what they belieVe
him to be, the firm and consistent advocate of
our glorious Constitution in Church and State.—
The result which has attended the extraordinary
exertions and powerful influence of the friends
of Lord Hervey will afford a very useful thought,
at the same time rather severe lesson in certain
quarters. For highly as Lord Hervey is re-
spected, both for his talents and private virtues,
it proves to a demonstration that the University
of Cambridge is not to be considered in the same
light, nor influenced in the same manner, as a
mere borough ; and it shews beyond a doubt that
the electors generally will not sacrifice their well-
known and long-cherished political principles,
either at the Shrine of private friendship or per-
sonal advantage. The issue of the contest, as it
regards the Whigs, is of no trifling importance,
for it skews, at one view, the estimation in which
their principles are held in this University. On
the present occasion they appeared in the field
with every possible advantage. They came early
to the canvass, with undivided forces, whilst
there was a strong division of interests among
their competitors. They also had for their cham-
pion, a candidate of their own choicepone who,
