At the same congregation, a gripe passed the senate
to authorise the admittance of John Dawson Gibson,
B. A., of Trinity College, to the degree of B.A. by Royal
mandate.
Dn. HA.MPDBN.—At the afternoon congregation there
was a more than usually numerous attendance of mem-
bers of the Senate, under the expectation that they
would have the opportunity of recording their votes for
or against the adoption of a petition to her Majesty
deprecatory of the appointment of the ,above-mentioned
divine to the see of Hereford. A requisition for its
adoption was signed by 64 resident members of the
Senate. The Vice•Chaneellor refused to entertain it,
and it was next submitted by its promoters to the Caput,
or Council, in which assembly it was also negatived.
The petition was thus finally rejected, but a most liberal
distribution of copies was made in the Senate-house this
afternoon. Its chief promoters, already acquainted with
its fate, were absent,, but, as has. been said, there was a
large assembly of members to vote for its adoption. An
effort also had evidently been made to-assemble sufficient
members to outvote the promoters of the petition in case
of its presentation as a grace. These latter remained in
the Senate-house to the close of the congregation, with
the exception of two or three of the heads of houses.

SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE
SHOW.

This exhibition was thrown open to the public at day-
break yesterday morning, and before noon it was densely
crowded. The Duke of Richmond, the Marquis of
Exeter, Lord Portman, the Earl of Warwicir, the Earl
lof Radnor, Major-General Wemyss, Mr. Pusey, M.P.,
and a great many leading agriculturists visited the show
• during the early part of the day. At twelve o'clock the
anniversary meeting of the club took place in the com-
mittee-room. The Duke of Richmond presided, and was
supported by Lord Portman, Mr. Pusey, M.P., and a
large body of members. The business transacted was
merely of a routine character, and possessed no feature
of public interest. Mr. B. T. Brandreth Gibbs, hono-
rary secretary to the club, was in attendance. The sale
of stock during the day was unusually brisk. On no
former occasion do we remember to have seen a greater
number of lots purchased on the first day. Those
animals which have obtained the highest prizes are not
as yet disposed of, probably owing to the extreme
_prices demanded for them, varying from 50 to 80 guineas.
The annexed is a list of stock sold up to last even-
ing:—
