INSTALLATION AT CAMBRIDGE.
CAMBRIDGE, SUNDAY AFTERNOON.—Cambridge
at this moment presents a most animated appearance,
being already crowded with hundreds upon hundreds
of old University men, to say nothing of those who
have arrived to take their Master's degree. The fa-
cility of railroad travelling has added much to the
concourse, and, as might be expected, although the
fair sex is not predominant as to numbers, there is a
remarkably strung sprinkling of theri, and their ap-
pearance gives a grace and lightness to the groups
in which they mingle. All places being open to-day,
every body roams where they choose. The lodging.
houses are alreddy almost full. The railway sta-
tion on Saturday presented a scene of extraordinary
bustle, every train that arrived bringing down hosts
of visitors.
A train arrived about ten A.M., conveying the
Queen's baggage, carriages, servants, horses, &c. &c.
The station is most beautifully decorated, being
literally covered with flowers, and greenery of every
description, culled from the treasures :of the " leafy
month ;" in addition flags are streaming from every
available point of projection.
A Congregation was called at the Senate-house, at
eleven o'clock yesterday morning, for the incepting
of such graduates as intend to proceed to the degree
of M.A. on Tuesday. Of these there are about one
hundred and fifty, and contrary to expectation only
one B.A. was created.
The fittings of the interior of the building and the
general arrangements for the accommodation of the ,
multitude who will seek admission at this grand point
of attraction are complete as far as the capacity of
the Senate-house itself is absolutely concerned. It is
capable of holding from 1,500 to 2,000 persons at the
utmost; and tickets are issued to the amount of nearly
4,000. This, however, is not the registrar's business.
He grants the tickets to those (the ALA's.) who have
a right to ask for themselves and their fair friends,
and the accommodation must rest with the Senate-
house sindicate. The result is plain, and, according
to the old saying, " first come will be first served,"
there will be a mortal crush on Tuesday morning.
There are a couple of troops of the 2d Life Guards
down here, together with the band of the Scots
Fusiliers. Head-quarters, the Bull. Officers of the
Guards Colonel M'llougall, Captains Vyse and
Blane, Lieutenants Wingfield, Tollemache, Longford,
and King. The following is a copy of the Laureate
Wordsworth's

INSTALLATION ODE.
INTRODUCTION AND CHORUS.
For thirst of power, that Heaven disowns—.
For temples, towers, and thrones—
Too long insulted by the spoiler's shock,
Indignant Europe cast
Her stormy foe at last,
To reap the whirlwind on a Libyan rock.

SOLO-TENOR.
War is passion's basest game,
Madly played to win a name.
Up starts some tyrant, earth and heaven to dare;
The servile million bow;
But will the lightning glance aside to spare
The despot's laurelled brow?
CHORUN.
War is mercy, glory tame,
Waged in Freedom's holy eau's—
Freedom such as man may claim
Under God's restraining laws.
Such is Albion's fame and glory,
Let rescued Europe tell the story.
RECIT. (ACCOMPANIED)-CONTRALTO.
But, lo! what sudden cloud has darkened all
The land as with a funeral pall?
The Rose of England suffers. blight;
The flower has drooped the isle's delight,
Flower and bud together fall,
A nation's hopes lie crushed in Claremont's desolate ball.

AIR- SOPRANO.
Time a chequered mantle wears,
Earth awakes from wintry sleep;
Again the tree a blossom bears—
Cease, Britannia, cease to weep!
Hark to the peals on this bright May morn,
They tell that your future queen is born!
SOPRANO, SOLO, AND CIIIORIII3.
A guardian angel fluttered
Above the babe unseen,
One word he softly uttered,
It named the,filure Queen ;
Znd a joyous cry tfEough the island rang.
s clear and bold as the trumpet's'elang,
As bland as the reed of peace—
" Victoria be her name !"
For righteous triumphs are the base
Whereon Britannia rusts her peaceful fame.

QUARTETT.
Time, in his mantle's sunniest fold,
Uplifted on his arms the child;
And while the tearless infant smiled,
Her happier destiny foretold:—
• Infancy, by wisdom mild,
Trained to health and artless beauty,
Youth by pleasure unbeguiled
From the lore of lofty duty;
Womanhood in pure renown,
Seated on her lineal throne;
Leaves of myrtle in her crown,
Fresh with lustre all their own.
Love the treasure worth possessing
More than all the world beside,
This shall be her choicest blessing,
Oft to Royal hearts denied."
RECIT. (ACCOMPANIED)-RASS.
That eve, the star of Brunswick shone
With steadfast ray benign
On Gotha's ducal roof and on
The softly flowing Leine;
Nor failed to gild the spires of Bonn,
And glittered on the Rhine.
Old Camus, too, on that prophetic night
Was conscious of the ray;
And his willows whispered in its light,
Not to the Zephyr's sway,
But with a Delphic life, in sight
Of this auspicious day.
CHORUS.
This day, when Grants hails her chosen lord,
And proud of her award,
Confiding in that star serene,
Welcomes the Consort of a happy Queen.
AIR-CONTRALTO.
Prince, in these colh•giate bowers,
Where science, leagued with holier truth,
'Guards the sacred heart of youth,
Solemn monitors are ours.
These reverend aisles,- these hallowed towers.
Raised by many a hand august,
Are haunted by majestic powers,-,
The memories of the wise and just,
Who, faithful to a pious trust,
Here in the founder's spirit sought
To mould and stamp the ore of thought
In that bold form and impress high
That best betokens patriot loyalty.
Not in ♦ain those sages taught—
, True disciples, good as great, •
Have pondered here their country's weal,
Weighed the future by the past,
Learnt how social frames may last,
And how a land may rule its fate
. • .By constancy inviolate—
Though worlds to their foundations reel,
The sport of factious hate or godless zeal.
AIR-BASS.
Albert, in thy race we cherish .
A nation's strength- that will not perish .
While England's sceptered line,
True to the King of kings is found ;
Like that Wise* ancestor' ofihine
Wha threw the Saxon shield o'er Luther's life,
When first above the yells of bigot strife
The trumpet of the Living Word
Assumed a voice of deep portentous sound,
. From gladdened glbe to startled Tiber heard,
CZORI7B.
What shield more sublime
E'er was blazoned or sung?
And the Prince whom we greet
From its hero is spelling. •
Resound, resound, the strain
That hails him for our own !
Again, again, and yet again;
For the Church, the State, the Throne!
-And that presence fair and bright,
Ever blest wherever seen,
Who deigns to grace our festal rite,
The pride of the islands—Victoria the Queen!
• Frederic the Wise, Electoi of Saxony.
