CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
Notwithstanding the arrivals of English Wheat since
Monday have been very small, and the show of samples here,
to-day, was trifling, the demand for all descriptions—arising
from the thin attendance of buyers—was in a sluggish state,
at the late depression in value. In Foreign Wheat, the sup-
ply of which was small—next to nothing was doing, at
almost nominal currencies. The Barley trade was unusually
dull, and prices were with difficulty supported, ➢lalt moved
off slowly, at unaltered figures. Scarcely any Oats were on
show; nevertheless, the trade was dull, at previous quota-
tions. In Beans, Peas, and Flour, we have scarcely any sales
to report.: tlndian Corn was held at full prices.

THE CHANCELLORSHIP OF CAM-
BRIDGE UNIVERSITY.
(From the Post.)
Committee Rooms, British Hotel, Cockspur-street.
The Committee for conducting the election of the Earl of
Powis beg that his supporters will come early to the poll on
Thursday, and also to call their attention to the list of special
trains advertised in all the papers.

NELSON, Chairman.
(FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.
CAMBKI DGE, TUESDAY EVENING.
I do not exaggerate the state of affairs in remarking that
the most intense excitement has prevailed in the University
during the whole of this day, i❑ c9nsequence of the course of
proceedings which Prince Albert's supporters have deemed it
expedient to adopt with reference to the forthcoming election.
During the day large numbers of members of the Senate
have been flocking into the town, and even at this early stage
are exhibited all the indications of a determined and vigorous
contest.

Between one and two o'clock to-day it was rumoured that
the Earl of Powis had intimated his intention of resigning,
having a personal objection to being brought into collision
with the Prince Consort. As the same false report has
doubtless been circulated amongst members of the Senate,
not at present in the University, I may state, that under any
circumstances the Earl of Powis will contest the election to
the last.

Arrangoments have been made with the directors of the
Eastern Counties Railway for running additional trains on
Thursday, the day of nomination, and on the following days,
if necessary.
On Thursday, the day of election, a procession will be
formed at St. Catherine Hall, the Master of which, the Rev.
H. Phillpott, 8.D., is the Vice-Chancellor of the University
for the present year, and will move at ten o'clock towards
the Senate House, on arriving at which the Bedell will read
the 33d statute of Elizabeth, "de electione Cancellarii." The
Vice-Chancellor, the two Proctors, and the Junior Doctor in
Divinity present (or, if there be no Doctor in Divinity
present, then the Junior Doctor of Law or Physic will
his place) will stand in scrutiny, and will give in their vote*
in the following form :
"A. B. elegit in Cancellarium nujus Academia."
The other two electors will then bring up their votes
written in the same form, each of the candidates having a
person standing at the table on his behalf. The other
members of the Senate will then vote in the order of their
arrival.

There can be very little doubt, I apprehend, that the re-
sult of the election will depend mainly upon the non-resident
members of the Senate, and as so much interest has been ex-
cited in all quarters with reference to our future Chancellor,
a large number of votes will be registered. I have not been
able to ascertain precisely how many members there are of
the Senatc—that is, persons entitled to vote—as the Univer-
sity calendar for the present year has not yet been made up.
From the last calendar I am enabled to make up the follow-
ing returns.
The number of members of the Senate connected with the
several colleges and balls are:—
Trinity College .
St. John's College 694
Queen's College 152
Gonville and Caius College
Christ's College
Corpus Christi College
Emmanuel College 136
St. Peter's College
St. Catherine's Hall
Magdalene College l2O
Clare Hall
Jesus College .........
Trinity Hall
Pembroke College
King's College
Sidney Sussex College
Downing College
Commorantes in Villa

67
97

3,454
During the last year the numbers have, of course, mate-
terially increased, and I think I may safely say that the
number now exceeds 4,000. Of these it is confidently
anticipated 2,000 will vote in the course of the forthcoming
election.

iPliceNßiocp,

Indeed, the election of a Chancellor of the University of
Cambridge, as you remark in your leading article this morn-
ing, has assumed altogether a new character. Since Prince
Albert's formal refusal to be put in nomination quietness has
prevailed throughout the University and towns but the de.
termination'of the Trinity men to persist is placmg.hitikald ,
Highness in the false position you so powerfully condemn,
has excited unlimited disgust amongst the resident graduates
and the members of the University generally. This is suffi-
ciently e% idenced by the conduct of the Rev. Dr. Webb, who
indignantly withdrew his name from the committee so soon
as he ascertained his Royal Highness's views on the matter.
Several other influential members of Prince Albert's commit-
tee have followed the example of the Master of Clare Hall,
and have expressed their intention of withholding their votes
altogether in the approaching election.
The meeting held in London yesterday, of which the Post
of to-day contains the proceedings, has excited consider-
able discussion, and without any desire to cast undeserved
reflections on the conduct of some of those whose names
appear for the first time in connexion with that committee,
I may state that certain Right Rev. Prelates, who " have
pledged themselves to secure a result so honourable to the
University," as Prince Albert's return, have come in for a
fair share of criticism. The resident graduates feel some-
thing like anxiety to learn what circumstances have
prompted the feelings of deep gratitude with which the meet-
ing, as affirmed in the resolution moved by the Lord Bishop
of London, heard that his Royal Highness Prince Albert
had been pleased to express the pride and pleasure he would
have in tilling the cffice of Chancellor of the University of
Cambridge, and still more surprise has been created by the
fact, that the Bishop of the metropolitan diocese, who has
always proved so lavish in his praises of the Earl of Powis,
should at tfiis moment so suddenly turn round, and oppose his
appointment to that high office, to which the Noble Earl, in
consideration of his untiring exertions in behalf of our na-
tional Church, has so strong a claim. Motives are imputed,
but I will not advert to them.

The never-failing effects of Blair's Gout and Rheu-
matic Pills in curing every description of gout and rheuma-
tism, have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any
medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief
in a few hours, where the patient has been driven nearly to
madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease, but re-
store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of
time. They are equally speedy vr d certain in rheumatism,
either chronic or acute, lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head
or face, and indeed for every rheumaiic or gouty affection: in
fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete
safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have
taken it; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the
kingdom, but contains many grateful evidences of its benign
influence. Sold by all medicine veneers. Price 2s. 9d. per
box. Observe the name " Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, Lon-
don; on the Government stamp.
