The following report has been made to the Senate by the
Syndicate appointed " to consider and report whether the Uni-
versity business which now occasionally takes place •on a Sun-
day can conveniently be deferred to the next day?"
The Syndicate having applied to the University Counsel for
an opinion whether the Senate i$ competent by Grace to defer
the University business, which now occasionally takes place on
a Sunday, to the following day, have received the following
answer : • _

" 1 should not recommend the University to pass any grace
which should alter the days of doing the various things enume-
rated, [in the case]. Their power of altering the Statutes is
limited Sic ut es las dect etis nostris ttihil deft ahant ant oil-
ciant.' But in the previous chapters particular days were
pointed out for different things to be clone; and Queen Eliza-
beth and her advisers must have known that these days would in
the common course occasionally fall on Sunday, and yet the days
were fixed without any exception as to Sundays; and therefore 1
doubt whether an alteration now made in that respectmightnot he
considered as being contrary to the Statutes. It i.; a very awk-
ward thing for a Corporation to alter the ancient rules as to the
electiOn'or appointment of the officers or other members of the
Corporation. Offices may become void, or at all events void.
able, as may also the acts done by, the officers, if the election or
appointment be not made according to law.--If it be thought
advisable that the business which Is now done on a Sunday,
should be done on a Monday, when the regular days fall on
Sundays, it would be much better to apply to the Crown for a
new Statute, making the necessary regulations for the objects
desired."

We understand that his Royal Highness the
Duke of SUSSEX has completed the new arrangements in his
library at Kensington. Palace. The gallery, which is solely
appropriated to the unrivalled collection of Bibles and theo-
logical works, has been constructed at the expence of his
Royal Highness—it is ninety feet in length, and from the
exact position of the mirrors at either end, seems indeed in-
terminable. Very fine portraits of Dr. PA nit and of Dr.
REES, Editor of the Encyclopedia, adorn this noble room—
the beauty of which is considerably heightened ay the rich
painted glass in each of the windows, casting " a dim religious
light" on the invaluable treasures in the several cases. The
Royal Duke has recently added to his literary stores
some very valuable manuscripts and illuminated missals.
adorned with highly finished miniatures painted in the best
style of the period to which they belong. The Catalogue
Sus-
sexiensis will shortly be published, and will exhibit in every
department of literature, a collection not inferior to any private
library in the kingdom ; nor must we forget, that the whole of
this collection has been formed by his Royal Highness himself
within the last 14 years from the period of his residence at
Kensington. We regret to hear that his Royal Highness is
at present confined to his couch by a severe accident, in strik-
ing his knee against the coach door when getting into his car-
riage.---( Cambridge Chronick.)
