'THE COMMITTEE for CONDUCTING the

of the University of Cambridge beg to submit the following STATE-
MENT to the Members of the Senate:—
When by the lamented death of the late Chancellor it became ne•
oeseary to con•ider the appointment of a successor, it las deemed
desirable to bring forward such a candidate as might be ,1
:apposed to
v
be most acceptable to the general body of the Senate, am 1. to repre-
sent the opinions of the majority of its members.
The interestwhich the Earl of revels had uniformly displr 'yeti in all
that concerns the University, arid the acquaintance which by his
education and Subsequent connexion with it he had maint: tined with
our academic institutions—the independence of his chal factor and
position—the heal and energy which he has exhibited i>li Lorwarding
the interests of the Church, and his able and effectual sin port of her
claims, naturally directed the attention of many members of th:, Uni-
versity to this nobleman, and steps were immediately tak, at to obtain
his Lordship's consent to be put in nomination for the II igh office 01
Chancellor.
The Earl of Fowls at once acceded to the request, and the favour-
ablen
ftci eell'rd
manner in which his Lordship's name has been recei r d assures

THE LIGHTS for FUTURE DAYS.
All can now be pleased, whatever is desired in Light. The
PEARL CANDLE LAMP is the perfection of Candle Lights, and
must succeed ; its simplicity myriacis will admire. To sell the ordi-
nary Candle Lamps is now impossible—the public have long enough
been pestered with such rubbish.

The DIAMOND CARCEL OIL LAMP is the beet oil light in the
world. The Cared Lamp is used in all the Palaces in Europe ; this
is sufficient guarantee for all—it never will be out-done.
The STARLIGHT NIGHT LIGHT is a beautiful little light to
illumine the bedchamber. All other night lights will be used no
more ; its economy and simplicity all will admire, for what can be
desired more than perfection? To what conclu,ion can we come?
Certain, henceforward the only lights will be—the Sun, the mighty
gem of heaven by day ; the Pearl and Diamond Lights at evening ;
and the Star at night, to illumine the British territory.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news-
put into
aper on Aug. '7, 1846. Reader, r this letter Was
the paper by the lady herself, as atestamony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tumity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic _ Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months,
rid the Whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than
ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Arr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an Ils. bottle if they were as certain of it .virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perflime it is far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact,.-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
irevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
!lair brilliancy, causing it to curl.

The most aelicate ladies may use this delightful proauct of the
roost aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
adour removes' headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
Olt the frown of the heal ; If v ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on ehildren's heads In a few appplicatlons. It used on infants'
heads, it has Such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain aslo pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—Fee

PARISS' PULMONIC CIGARETTES.-Phy-
sicians have long discovered that in diseases of the lungs and
air passages, a remedy to be really efficacious must come In direct
contact with the diseased organ, and this cannot take place unless it
be administered ander the form of vapour or smoke. The diseases
in which the Cigarettes have been found so beneficial are, difficulty
of breathing, tightness of the chest, spasmodic asthma, catarrhs,
hoarseness, sore throats, aphony (loss of voice), ear-aches, rheuma-
tism of the jaws, tooth-ache, neuralgia, &c. In the first stage of
consumption their beneficial effects are surprising, and in the ad •
vanced stages they relieve the cough, lessen the expectoration, check
the night perspiration, and produce calm and refreshing sleep.

l evelored in ethcr.zed subjfcts : but, upon the whole;
s more perfect "illustration of the value of the new
Tent has never been witnessed. The pulse varied
much in force, regularity, and frequency. Before the
•nhalatiOn of the vapour it counted 120, during the
height of the operation it was 160 irregular and inter-
mitting, and 'after the removal of the leg it subsided
to 100, and became soft and tranquil. After the
wound had beets dressed, and previous to the removal to
bed, she rapidly recovered her consciousness, and the ex-
pression of her face became beautifully serene and calm,
She said she had not felt the slightest pain, and in a
childish, .affectionate, and joyous manlier, threw her
arms round the neck of the operator and kissed him.
When carried to her bed she showed surprise and de-
light, and declared to the nurse she could not believe the
leg had been amputated, for she had been so utterly un-
conscious of what had taken place; she even passed her
hand down in search of her foot, before she could be
convinced of the fact. In a few minutes afterwards she
tell fast asleep, and has not experienced a single unfa-
vourable syinptom since the operation. The numerous
scientific !aid professional vision Nero delighted, that a
*id so- union deltatatol hy. ;fig-eositiOed disease,
:ould have borne the shock of so important a surgical
process with such entire absence of the nervous distur-
bance and agitation which have always hitherto accom-
panied amputations, and capital operations in general,
and warmly congratulated Mr. Thomson upon the
oomplete and signal success which had crowned his
efforts.

APPLICATION OF THE DRAIN-

AGO ACT.

The following elucidation of the Drainage Act is co-
pied from a recent number of the Gardener's Chronicle
and Agricultural Gazette. It will be found of very treat
utility both to landlords and tenants.

1. So much misapprehension seems to prevail, both
with respect to the advantages resulting from borrow-
ing money under the provisions of the Land Drainage
Act, and also as to the proportion of the annual pay-
ments towards the extinction of such debts, which
proprietors and their tenants ought respectively to con-
tribute, that the succeeding observations may possibly
be acceptable to those of your readers who are inte-
rested in the subject. 2.—As everybody knows, the
Drainage Commissioners, in return for each 100/. ad-
vanced by them, are to receive an annual payment of
61. 10s. for 22 years, on the expiry of which period the
debt is cancelled. Of this sum 61. 10s., one half may be
regarded as simple interest at 31 par cent., while the other
moiety, if suffered to accumulate with compound interest
also at the rate of 31 per cent., will, immediately after
the 22d payment, amount to 109/. 3s. lid., and thus
somewhat more than extinguish the debt. (3.) The Act
being intended as a boon to the agricultural interest
generally, and by way of compensation for a measure
which the majority of that body looked upon as injurious
to them, its projectors unquestionably designed that all
concerned, both proprietors and tenants, should partici-
pate equally in the benefits resulting from it. These
benefits arc of two kinds—first, such as arise from the
increased productiveness of the land; and, 2dly, those
consequent on the low rate of interest charged
by the Government for its loan. It is evident that
the advantages which the former class will ulti-
mately confer on pr.priQtors, whose interest in
the soil is permanent, must be greater than those
derivable from them by tenants, during their tem-
porary occupancy of their farms; but as this result
's not peculiar to improvements effected by means
of the Government loan, it_is unnecessary to make any
further allusion to it in this place, and I shall, there-
fore, confine myself to pecuniary matters. (4.) A pro-
prietor can at prevent, on the security of his estate, and
without the aid of Government, borrow money at 4 per
cent , and, very generally, charges his tenant 1 per
cent. more than he himself pays. Part of this addi
tio.ial per centege is necessarily expended in stamps and
legal documents ; but in order to make the ease appear
as favourable as possible to the proprietor, I shall as-
sume that he reaps the whole benefit arising from the
superfluous impost. Under these circumstances, his
account for each 1001. borrowed will, at the end of 22
years, stand thus:—

Sums borrowed £l,OO 0 0
Value of an annuiLy of 11. fur 22 years at
3i per cent paid by the tenant, and
therefore to be deducted from the above
SUM

Balance still due by proprietor £67 13 5
If the annuity had been calculated at 4 per cent., 6,
unliquidated balance would have been 651. 15s. 014. (5.)
Compared with the details of the preceding system, the
advantage which accrues to the proprietor, and the profit
or loss to the tenant on each 100/. borrowed from Go-
vernment, varying as they necessarily do, with the share
of the annual payments which the parties severally con-
tribute, will appear from the following statements. As
an apology for the introduction of the first three cases,
I must mention that some proprietors have refused to
apply for a share of the loan, unless their tenants agree
to provide the whole cf the annual payments. Case IV.
is understood to be the one prescribed for the benefit of
his Scotch tenants by the Duke of Richmond.
CASE I.—The tenant rated at 6i per cent.
At 3i per cent.—Gain to the proprietor by
the extinction of the balance due
on each 100/. as above (4) £67 13 5
Value of an annuity of 41. for 22
years gained by the proprietor in
consequence of the tenant paying
the whole interest on the sum bor-
rowed, and, therefore, to be added
to the above 129 6 4

tenant at 6 per cent.

The tenant's loss is 34 4 11;

- tenant 5 per cent.

As in this case, the tenant pays the same rate of in-

As the last case nearly equalises the gains of the pro-
prietor and tenant, it is needless to investigate the effects
of any of the other arrangements which it might be pos-
sible to adopt. (6.) In determining the share of the an-
nual payments which a proprietor may, in justice, de-
mend from a tenant, it must be observed that theues-
tion is not whether the latter can afford to pay 6i per

_.\Priiintiget AA!,
as the former, who furnishes either thing,'Ortibli tber

Government? The preceding data sho., that the latter
interrogatory must be answered in the negative, and fur-
ther, that were there no expenses attending the realisa-
tion and application of the loan, the arrangement
specified in case X. ought to be adopted. As, how.
ever, advertisements, inspections, reports, and super-
intendence cannot be had for nothing, I believe
that case IX. is the more equitable one for both parties
—the excess of grain which accrues to him being more
than sufficient to enable the proprietor to meet all de-
mands for the services mentioned ; while the tenant will
cheerfully pay his contribution of 3 per cent. (7). The
preceding calculations, being founded on the assumption
that a proprietor can borrow money at 4 per cent., are of
course, only applicable to the owners and tenants of
alienable estates. No one, under ordinary circumstances,
will advance capital for the purpose of improving en-
tailed properties except at a rate of interest which pre-
cludes the possibility of borrowing with profit • and
yet, by the provisions of the Land Drainage Act the
possessors of such territories are placed (an far as the
facility of procuring the *se of money is concerned) in
as favourable a position as those whose lands are un-
fettered. The measure in question has, therefore, been
justly regarded as an especial boon to the holders of en-
tailed estates; but I apprehend, that, in many cases, pru-
dential considerations will interfere to prevent landlords
so circumstanced from availing themselves of the ad-
vantages which it was intended to confer on them. Ia
illustration of this conjecture, let it be supposed that the ---''''s--"" '
-I•

poisaessor vs -an entailect estate, whose age is such, that,
according to the average value of life, be is likely to
survive for fifteen years, is requested by a tenant hold-
ing a lease, the unexpired term of which also extends to
fifteen years, to apply for a share of the Government
loan, in order to improve lands occupied by the latter.
It is evidently improbable that under such circumstances
the landlord will live to reap any benefit from the in-
crease of rent to be anticipated on a renewal of the lease,
while (in contributing what has been assumed as his
fair share of the annual payments
.to Government, viz.,
3i per cent.), he will in fifteen years have paid (com-
put►ng the annuity at 3i per cent.), 671. 10s. Bd.; or,
(if at 4 per cent.), 701. Is. 74d. for each 1001. borrowed,
either of the sums being such as only the suc-
cessor to the estate, to the exclusion of all the other
hairs, can profit by. On the other hand, a tenant,
whose farm is likely to be greatly ameliorated by drain-
age, may, if a considerable portion of his lease is yet to
run, find it advantageous to pay the whole 61 per cent.,
rather than let his fields remain in their 'present
condition. A careful consideration of all such matters'
can alone enable- the owners and occupiers of entailed
lands to judge how far a share of the funds, available
under the Land Drainage Act, are likely to be mutually
or individually beneficial to them, and, by the opinion
thus formed, arrange the scale of their respective pay-
ments. (8.) In conclusion, I may remark that, as the
certain consequences of such improvements as the Go-
vernment advances are intended to effect will, on the ter-
mination of existing engagements, be a rise of rent, in
most cases greatly exceeding the amount of the annual
payments demanded in return for the loan, the advan-
tage to proprietors will be greater in proportion to the
shortness of the leases, while, of course, the reverse holds
good with respect to Tenant.—A. R.
P.S.—Although, in order more fully to illustrate the
several cases, the results of the annuites both at 3i per
cent. and 4 per cents., have been inserted in the preced-
ing paper, it will be seen that the general consequences
are not materially affected by the difference of the rates

IRELAND.
THE DISTRESS.

DUBLIN, FEB. 23.—The accounts from Cork are
becoming more and more gloomy, getting, in truth, from
bad to worse. The following passage from the letter of
a Roman Catholic clergyman (the Rev. Mr. Mulcahy)
will serve as a sample of the state to which districts in
that county have been reduced:—
"

To give you some idea, and it is a very faint one, of
the sacrifice of human life that has taken place in the
district of Castlehaven and Myross, I state with con-
fidence and sorrow that in one fishing hamlet, called
Carrigillihi, out of a population of 472 individuals who
were alive on the Ist of January, 1847, not Je-s than 87
of that number, have been since carried off by starvation.
This is a fact I am ready to attest on the solemnity of
my oath, before any tribunal in the realm."
The • state of the Cork Workhouse for the week just
ended is as follows:-L•
Total admitted during the week, 452; births, 5; num-
ber at the end of last week, 5,295—t0ta1, 5,752. Dis-
charged, 292; died, 146 ; on pass; 8 ; deserted, 5-451.
Total remaining, 5,301. Number in hospital, 627 ; ex-
tern patients, 1,329. Died yesterday (Sunday), 28.
t. O'CONNELL'S HEALTH.
Private reports to-day speak unfavourably of the pro-
gress of Mr. O'Connell's indisposition. A letter ad-
dressed to Mr. Hackett, of Cork, by the Hon. Gentle-
man's intimate friend, Mr. P. V. Fitzpatrick, for many
years secretary to the trustees of the tribute, gives a far
less hopeful amount of his general state of health than
the public were led to believe from the speech delivered
yesterday by Mr. Thomas Steele. Mr. Fitzpatrick thus
writes:—

" Dublin, Feb. 18, 1847.
" My dear Haekett,—l deplore to write that the
Liberator has been very ill, and unceasingly so, since he
left the shores of Ireland.

" More than one consultation has been held by his
physicians in London, and although they consider that
there is nothing imminent, nor perhaps very serious, in
his case, his letters to me prove that his own misgivings
are such as to be likely to aggravate any bad symptoms.
"The ' redundant vitality' with which, in conjunction
with other distinguishing qualities, he was naturally
blessed, has perhaps rendered him nervous on expe-
riencing a reduction of his physical powers and the access
of ailments almost inseparable from the period of life he
has attained.

" Some efforts must be made by change of scene and
climate, or such course as the medical men shall advise,
on the opening of the season, to restore him to his usual
health, and qualify him to work as heretofore for his
country and friends—who are known to be the friends
of Ireland likewise.

" For myself, I am quite sanguine, that by judicious
management his invaluable existence may be, with the
blessing of God, prolonged for years to come . .
" In great haste, most truly yours,
" P. V. FITZPATRICK.

" William Hackett, Esq."

MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK.
DREADFUL SUFFERINGS OF THE CREW.
(From the Edinburgh Register.)
The following account of the loss of the brig Mar-
wood is abstracted from the journal of one of the sur-
vivors. The letter communicating the intelligence is
dated Wick, 10th instant:— _ _ _

On the 13th January one of the hands died through
cold and hunger; the ship driving northward, without a
rudder, tossed on the billows, and altogether ungovern-
able. On the 17th January saw land, supposed to be
the Shetland Islands. On the 18th, found ourselves to
leeward of the laud; ship making much water; all
bands very weak. No provisions, and 'the ship ungo-
vernable; thought it prudent to endeavour to save our
lives by abandoning her. Launched the boat, took a
few clothes, and endeavoured to reach the land, but
the sea ran so high that we were obliged to throw
everything out of the boat to lighten her. One man
died in the boat. We thought it prudent to return
to the ship. We managed to get the boat in, but
could not, from fatigue, bury the dead man until late
the following day. Our provisions were then neatly out;
our allowance was one wine-glass of rice and palm-oil
per day, and one wine-glass of water per day. The
cold was intense. On the morning of the 21st, we
forint —6lk-selves close to an island of rock, ascending
to the very clouds, covered with snow and ice, and
almost perpendicular. The sea was foaming and lash-
ing the rocks; a strong current running; the sea boil-
ing with whirlpools and eddy winds. We endeavoured
to run the vessel up to what we thought was a bay;
but, owing to the eddy winds and currents, the vessel
was ungovernable. We cut away the masts, as the
sea was running high, and, the ship tiding very heavily.
We were then starving. We ate leather, palm-oil, dried
monkey skins, buttons, tobacco pouches, or anything
we could get our hands on. We' could not land : we
made signals, but were nut answered. Some of us drank
salt water, some their urine, and when a heavy dew or
light rain fell, we licked abut the rails and deck of the
ship until the blood oozed from our lips and tongue. On
the 22d, another man died from hunger ; his corpse lay
among us ; we could not bury it, wa were se weak. It
lay twenty-four hours, when, 0 my God ! I cannot state
here what we did with it, It would make the human frame
shudder, but is gave us strength to save ourselves, • hro

struck, throwing us among the rooks and surf. She

inhabitants are the most kind people, and live amicably
together. We afterwards learned that we should not
get off the island before the latter end of March, and we

but owing to it blowing a gale of wind, we could, not get
to Shetland, but succeeded in landing here, after having
been a second time nearly shipwrecked. "The Marwood
is a total wreck. She sank at her moorings. We saved
nothing but what was on our backs. A few casks of
the cargo have been picked up about the Ferree Islands."
