UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.
ELECTION OF CHANCELLOR.
MEETING OF PRINCE ALBERT'S SUPPORTERS.
We understand that a large number of noblemen and
other influential members of the University of Cambridge
met yesterday at the Union Hotel, Cockspur-street, and
formed a committee to secure the election of Prince Albert
into the office of Chancellor.

THE COURT. —Her Majesty and his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert, with the Royal Family, will return to
town from Claremont to-day, the Queen having appointed
to hold her second levee this season to-morrow, and
on Saturday, according to present arrangements, the
Court will take its departure from Buckingham Palace for
Osborne House. The whole of the infant Royal Family
will accompany their illustrious parents to the Isle of Wight.
Her Majesty, it is stated, will prolong her stay at Osborne
House for three weeks. Indeed it is expected that the Court
will not return to Buckingham Palace until within two or
three days previously to the 25th proximo, on which day
the first drawing• room this year will be held by her Majesty
at St. James's Palace. The Court will afterwards proceed to
Windsor for the Easter holidays, remaining for about a week
or ten days at the castle.
On Saturday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India House, when Lieutenant-General Sir Willoughby
Cotton, G.C.8., was sworn in Commander in-Chief of the
Company's forces, and second member of council on the
Bombay establishment. Sir Willoughby Cotton afterwards

superannuation allowance is a considerable modification of
the remuneration received in active service, and a bar to
any advance ; consequently, few persons apply for it an-
less accident renders them wholly unable to perform their
duties. The sum thus deducted from their salaries, at
death, by the present arrangement, falls into the general
fund, leaving the widow and family of the deceased officer
totally unprovided for. The result of the present corre-

LEGHORN, Fan. 7.—The marriage of the second
son of Don Carlos to the Archduchess Mary, sister Of the
Duke of Modena, was to have been celebrated at Modhe:.n
in that city for some days. It is said that la

depend upon the conclusion of the financial arrangements
with Tuscany. Some persons pretend, it is true, that the
Duchess de Berri will come to the assistance of her son-in-
law at all
funds events, giving or advancing him the necessary
for satisfying his travelling desires. The Duke and
