REGULATIONS.

1. That no person be admitted into the Senate house,
or the Senate-house yard, on Monday July 5, or Tuesday
July 6, without a ticket.
2. That every person who now is a member of the Uni-
versity shall have one ticket (not transferable) for his
own admission on each of those days.
3. That every member of the Senate shall have one
lady's ticket, and one gentleman's ticket—and every in-
cepting M.A. one ticket either a lady's or a gentleman's
—for the admission of strangers on each of those days.
4. That personal application for their tickets be made
to the Registrary by all Graduates, except Bachelors of
Arts.* _ _ _

5. That the tickets of all Bachelors of Arts and Under-
graduates be issued to them through the Tutors of their
respective colleges.
6. That the platform, on which the chairs of State will
be placed for her Majesty the Queen, and his Royal
Highness the Chancellor, together with the raised seats
for ladies on each side of the Senate-house immediately
communicating with it, be appropriated to those persons
who have tickets from his Royal Highness, and to No-
blemen, Doctors, and Heads of Colleges.
7. That the remaining parts of the raised seats on each
side of the Senate-house, and the west-end of the gallery
be appropriated to ladies : and that on Monday July 57
the orchestra also be appropriated to ladies.
8. That the body of the Senate-house be appropriated
to members of the University having M.A. tickets, and
to gentlemen rot members of the University who have
tickets of admission.
9. That the gallery on the north side of the Senate-
house be appropriated to Undergraduates.
10. That the gallery on the south side of the Senate-
house be open to all Graduates, and also to gentlemen,
not members of the University, who have tickets of
admission.
The Vice-Chancellor requests that all members of the
University will appear in their academical dress of gowns
and bands during both days.
A report had got abroad that under graduates were to
be wholly excluded from the Senate-house, the errone-
ousness of which will be demonstrated by the foregoing
document. In the Senate-house the arrangements are ad-
vancing at a rapid rate : it is a scene of great activity,
and symptems of what is going on within may already
be observed outside, where three of the temporary en-
trances are indicated by flights of stairs. The platform
for her Majesty and the Chancellor is partly erected,
the orchestra is in a state of forwardness, and nearly the
whole of the side galleries for ladies is completed.
We have more than once printed what we may call a
programme of the proceedings; but there will be no harm
in repeating it, with whatever little additions we are now
in possession of. Her Majesty and the Prince will take
the rail at the Tottenham station on Monday morning
July 5, and will reach Cambridge about half-past twelve
o'clock. The station here will be elegantly decorated
for the reception of the Royal visitors, and accommoda-
tion will be provided for a number of ladies to witness
the arrival. ,The Eastern Counties Company are making
every exertion to do honour to the occasion, and we be-
lieve they will do their part well.
The Mayor and Corporation will meet her Majesty at the
station, where the usual formalities will be enacted; and
they will accompany the royal cortege on foot to Trinity
College, where their duties will end, for at that point in
her progress her Majesty will be delivered over to the
University authorities. We know not at this moment
what arrangements will be made to mark public loyalty
during her Majesty's passage through the town, for
while we write a Committee of the Town Council is
sitting to conclude what is to be done; but we appre-
hend there will be triumphal arches, and so forth, and
we know that many of the inhabitants are already pre-
paring to decorate their houses with banners and flowers,
and we have no doubt that the Royal progress through
the town will be a scene of unusual brilliance.
The Queen and the Prince will of course sojourn at
Trinity Lodge, and lunch will be ready for them at two
o'clgck on Monday. At three o'clock the Chancellor,
and possibly the Queen, will go the Senate-house, where
Honorary Degrees will be conferred by his Royal High-
ness. At half-past six in the evening the royal party
will dine with the Vice-Chancellor in the hall of Ca
tharine ball. It unfortunately happens that the accom-
modation is small, and consequently the Vice-Chan
cellor's hospitality will necessarily be confined to a'-out
sixty guests. After dinner there will be a concert in
the Senate-house, to commence at half past eight o'clock.
With respect to this concert we regret to announce that
Jenny Lind's engagements in London will prevent her
from coming ; but treaties are pending with Grisi,
Alboni, Mario, and Lablache, and Miss Birch, Miss
Dolby, Mr. Philips and Mr. Lockey are engaged. The
band will comprise the elite of the Philharmonic and
Choral Societies of London; and there will be a full
chorus, amongst which will be the Cambridge, Ely, and
Peterborough choirs. It is understood that her Majesty
and the Prince will attend this concert.
On Tuesday the proceedings in the Senate-house will
commence at ten o'clock. The great feature will be the
performance of the Installation Ode, in which the singers
at the concert will take a part. In the afternoon the
royal party will honour the horticultural fete at Downing
with their presence. We have already stated that most
extensive preparations are on foot for this fete, which
will be a splendid thing. In the evening a grand ban-
quet will be given in the noble ball of Trinity College,
which will be attended by the Queen and the Chancellor.
The plate for this banquet, as well as that at Catherine
Hall, will be supplied by Mr. Read, of Market-hill.
The public breakfast in Trinity and St. John's will
take place on Wednesday morning, to commence at 12
o'clock. All preliminary arrangements for this grand
fete have been concluded, and the highest anticipations
of its attractions are indulged in. Tickets can be pro-
cured only through members of the Senate ; and for the
distribution of them the members of the committee of
management will attend at Mr. Barraclough's rooms,
near the Senate-house, on and after Friday, July 2.
We understand that the price of the tickets will be 11. ls.,
with the addition of 55., if not procured before Wednesday
morning. We are glad to add that the profits will be
applied her the benefit of Addenbrooke's Hospital. The
raider is aware that the two Colleges will be united by
a temporary bridge across the Cam. The bridge will be
erected nearly opposite the northern end of the library ;
the contract for it has been taken by Mr. Peck, of this
ptt tiorwri enn.

All the details that we have given are connected with
the University ; but there will be rejoicings in which the
townspeople can partake. These, however, are not com-
pleted at the hour at which we write, but we apprehend
there is no doubt that there will be a grand display of
fire-works.
We may say generally that there is no doubt whatever
that the town and University will be crowded with dis-
tinguished company. We have given lists before, to
which we might now make additions ; but perhaps next
week we shall be in a position to extend the list very
considerably. The best spirit prevails amongst those
charged with carrying out this interesting event, and the
highest hopes are entertained of a brilliant issue.
* The Registrary will attend for the purpose of distribut-
ing tickets at his office in the Pit Press, on Wednesday June
30, and on Friday July 2, from nine o'clock to one, a.m.; and
at his rooms in Trinity college
on Thursday July 1, from 6 to 10 p.m. ;
on Friday July 2, from 8 to 10 p.m.
on Saturday July 8, from Bto 9i a.m. ;from 8 to 10 p.m.
on Monday July 5, from 8 to 9i a.m.; from 8i to 10 p.m.
and on Tuesday, July 6, from 8 to si a.m.

THE GERMAN HOSPITAL.--On Friday the annual
general meeting of the subscribers to the above hospital
was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. His
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge was in the
chair, supported by the Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian
Minister, Ernest Bunsen, Esq., Baron Knesebeck, Lord
Ashley, the Venerable Archdeacon Robinson, the Che-
valier Hebeler, &c., &c. The report stated, that since
the opening of the hospital 611 patients had been ad-
mitted into the wards, and 1,998 out-patients had been
relieved. The total amount received during the past
year galla, and the balance now remaining in hand,
deductin expenses, was 6751. A convalescent fund
has been formed by some ladies in London and Man-
chester, for the purpose of affording pecuniary relief to
patients leaving the hospital. On the motion of Lord
Ashley, seconded by. his Excellency Chevalier Bunsen,
the report was unanimously adopted., The committee
and other officers for the ensuing year were then elected;
and a vote of thanks passed to those retiring. A similar
compliment was paid to the Royal Chairman, after which
the meeting separated.
MANCHESTER PRODUCE MARKET, FRIDAT.—The
sugar market has assumed a firmer aspect this week, and
the sales, which have been to a fair exten-, establish an
advance of 6d. per cwt. on last week's prices. Refined
sugar mid treacle are lower. Fine golden syrup is
quoted 265. The tea market continues quiet, without
any alteration in prices.—Manchester Guardian.
Tua TURNIP FLT.—At a meeting of the Royal
Agricultural Society last week, Mr. Hillyard, of Thorpe-
lands, near Northampton, described a successful mode
which he had adopted to destroy this pest. It was by
keeping heaps of twitch on different sides of his farm,
ready to be fired when the fly made its appearance on the
, crop ; he then lighted those heaps which lay on the
windward side of the farm, and placed brimstone on the
top of each of them, when the combined effluvia of the
burning twitch and brimstone being carried over the
turn'f told the fly was wort effectually destroyed.—

THE CROPS IN LANCASHIRE.
(From the Preston Guardian of Saturday.)
ECCLESTON, NEAR LEYLAND.—The crops in this
neighbourhood look very promising, potatoes never
looked better. Carts laden with potatoes from Burs-
cough, Rufford, &c., are now passing through here for
Bolton and Blackburn. I cannot hear that there is a
single complaint as to the appearance of the potato
murrain. A party in charge of one cart, which was
only partially laden with potatoes, said he had paid
151. for them, and fetched them out of the field, so that
the farmer had not been put to any expense beyond
getting them out of the ground. He stated that the
crop was very productive, and that those farmers who
were fortunate enough to have forward crops were reap-
ing a fine harvest.—Correspondent.
POTATO DISEASE.—FRIGHTENED BEFORE HURT.—
The following anecdote will explain how the reports of
the potato disease get circulated. We would, however,
caution parties not to cry " Wolf, wolf," too much, lest
the wolf in reality should make his appearance as Oust
visitation for their murmurings :—A farmer called
upon a gentleman the other day, and stroking down his
hair exclaimed, " Oh, dear, I don't know what ull be-
come uth country olong o' this potatee disease." The
gentleman replied, " Why, Bob, have you got it among
your crops ?" " Now, now," said the farmer, " but my
nebbur has getten up o lot, up he fun TWO bad uns
omung urn ! I I"

HOARDING UP STILL.—One farmer in Wrightington
has upwards of one hundred loads of meal yet unsold. I
suppose that he is intending to wait for the harvest of
1848. The crops here look splendid, and no appearance
of the disease amongst potatoes.—Correspondent.
POTATO CROPS IN LONGTON.—Your correspondent for
this place must have been mistaken as to the statement
he put forth last week with regard to the potato disease
having re-appeared. There may have been a few tubers
found in a rotten state in some of the old gardens, which is
nothing unusual ; but up to the present time there is not
the slightest trace of the epidemic of last year. On the
contrary, potatoes were never known to look so well.
There are great quantities now ready for the market, a
cart load having gone this day (Wednesday) from here
to Blackburn.—J. P.
HAS THE POTATO DISEASE APPEARED 2—A gentle-
man who has travelled through the places named below
during the past week says, that after diligent in•
quiry he was glad to find that there was not a single
complaint of the potato disease having appeared, and
what is still more gratifying, that none of the sets
have missed germinating, and that there is every pro-
spect of a very abundant crop. Places referred to,
starting from Wigan, through Pemberton, Orrell, Up-
holland, Standish, Wrightington, Welsh Whittle, Cop-
pull, to Choriliby.
POTATOES.—UNFOUNDED RUMOUR.—Happening to
see a copy of your- contemporary of Saturday last, I
found a statement of the potato disease having appeared
in Worden Park, which I beg to contradict, as I never
saw them looking more healthy and prosperous than
they do this year. There have been some got up, which
were perfectly free from disease.—Aß occupier of the
greater portion of Worden Park, Leyland.
THE CROPS, LEYLAND.—AII kinds of grain crops look
well in this neighbourhood. Yesterday was a splendid
growing day—fine and warm after the genial rain. For-
ward potatoes look remarkably well, and bid fair for an
abundant crop. There are some rumoursi here and there
of a bad potato being found—but to set up a report of
appearance,
the potato disease having made its is, I
think, going too fast.—Leyland Correspondent.
THE CROPS.—GARSTANG AND NEIGHBOURHOOD.
The crops in these surrounding neighbourhoods were
never known to look better; wheat looks very well, and
is progressing rapidly in growth; oats are much im-
proved, and present a healthy appearance, the grub
having now disappeared; beans, since the late rains,
promise well, and the stems are studded with bloom from
the top to the bottom. Potatoes present such an appear-
ance as to justify sanguine expectations both as to quan-
tity and freedom from disease; some of the cottagers
who have got up the forward sort .have got from twenty
to thirty potatoes at one root —Garstang Correspondent.
POTATOES.—MORE GOOD NEWS.—At your request I
have made it my business to inquire of the farmers at-
tending the market here to-day from the great potato
district west of this, and can hear no complaints of the
potato disease; they all speak well of the prospect of
the grain crops, and state that wheat is getting every
day fuller on the ground.—Garstang Correspondent.
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS IN FURNESS.—We
have had a delightful week of sunshine and showers,
and the crops are rapidly advancing under their genial
influence. The grain crops are spoken well of on all
hands, and, no doubt, the markets are feeling their in-
fluence, as wheat, of which there was an abundant
supply in our market on Thursday, fell 6s. per load.
Potatoes are getting up well, and our market at the
latter part of the day was supplied with them as low as
twopence per lb. The crops in the ground look healthy,
and promise well.
THE WEATHER AND CROPS IN THE FYLDE.—We
have had a good supply of rain, and during the latter
part of the week the atmosphere has been mild and
warm. As a consequence vegetation continues to pro-
gress satisfactorily. Wheat, which has now begun to
shoot, continues to maintain a healthy colour, and pro-
mises to be a good crop Oats are recovering from the
effects of the grub, and have improved within the last
few days both in colour and growth; beans and barley
are also doing as well as possible. The fields and mea-
dows look remarkably well, and the hay harvest, even
on high lands, which suffered in the early part of the
season from drought, will be tolerably heavy. Potatoes
in this district still maintain a healthy appearance, and
I cannot but think that the reports of the disease have
been greatly exaggerated, probably for the unworthy
purposes of speculation.—Poulton Correspondent.
