no unmixed gratification to either of the contending Wtil
Now, however, the game has been played. This morrneglie
is understood that a formal deputation from the Unis;eri°l of Cambridge will wait upon hii Royal Highness the '1."1-
Consort, to announce that he has been duly elected Chan",.ll ce
for of that ancient body and receive his gracious accept:fa_
of the high office it places at his disposal. It is only f0rt,.46

possibility of forgetting the experiment in the issue.

such
of illustrious or exalted position. We withhold fromer,_co,
characters any appropriate or legitimate field of ex.estl„vd
We are satisfied with offering them nominal dignit' emor,
sinecure honours, and are apt to regard any activity,iste
their parts as an unconstitutional novelty. We ' bf
them from the ordinary functions of society
~,e0
the strictest regulations of etiquette. and are
surprised that etiquette grows stricter under such coneui
and that society receives so little advantage from natural at,
dowments so calculated to improve it. We compel tuhe SO
sequences, and then complain of them. It would yines
reasonable to expect that the chief-colonelcy of the
Guards should confer high military science, as that a nits
mate influence should be exerted on the tastes and Peroolf
of the nation by persons whose opportunities we etudiricie°
confine to the deposit of foundation stones, or the preside to be
of public dinners. Prince Albert is generally believed neo.
possessed of accomplishments which might be most beii,b,
cially applied—to be a scholar of no ordinary acorn') be
d te
ments, and a Prince of no ordinary acquirements, an, liter
sincerely attached to the interests of art, science, an —frool
ture. These qualifications we are compelled to recei'le.,o34
the testimony of the very few to whose use and NV) biCA
we confine their exertion, but the tact and judgment Ifgret•
temper and enhance the value of such endowments are °to/.
nately known to all. Yet we circumscribe the sphere of %fir
ties so unusually combined with influence and rank as
fully as if we dreaded their effect, or could dispense with tof
aid. We resign to the Home-park what was meant for tbo
nation, and concentrate on the preserves of Swinley sel
powers of a mind which might, for aught we allow 0,0°,0'
to know, train the tastes of a generation, and raise the
racter of a class. And then, with edifying and charaeterd to
equity, we seriously criticise the habits we have lahoe,„
ii
form, and are suprised that a Prince whose occupati°little
have limited to shooting pheasants should display „ei.„ ere
anxiety that he may have some pheasants to shoot. Di,
willing to hope that his Royal Highness may exert 'lles'
new office an influence which has not of late years beellbett

considered as subjects beyond or below the severe
of academical life, have lately been called to their Pr pi'
rank and nobly installed at Oxford, and the 01,11etal
licent Museum just growing into perfection at ""ble
bridge may be the basis of institutions as honourto
and as advantageous to the nation at large. In the varief
functions of the University which his Royal Highness, b

influence to incompetent representatives, the more gratif,llo
will it be to that body whose chosen leader he now is.
is the head of " the Masters anti Scholars" of the Univale•f

tween him and that body, who are his sole electors and ee,o,
stituents. If we pass over without comment the 10(1104
genuous and creditable circumstances which have attee6 a
this struggle, it is because we would willingly imit2l.o,
course of conduct which we may anticipate from the Ch re
cellor himself, and forget that it has ever occurred. 'ley
is a singular opportunity for impartiality and oblivion. te
persons to whom his Royal Highness is least indebted al',

be found amongst his most clamorous protruders, and
need not fear that the new Chancellor will discover anYtelos
but an additional reason for being pleased with his conotito
ency in the independence of thought and action which b
characterised so large a portion of it.
