MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

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. Alait 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.' ,Indian Corn was held at full prices.

_
NELSON, Chairman,
(FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.)
CAMBRIDGE, TUESDAY EVENDIG.
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, in consequence 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.
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 town, but the de•
termination of the Trinity men to persist in placing his Royal
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 evidenced 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 Pest
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 filling the office 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 this 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.
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 supply
his place) will stand in scrutiny, and will give in their votes
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 nonresident
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 Senate—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 ?hake 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 l2B
Emmanuel College ••••
St. Peter's College

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.
