-College, Cambridge, this afternoon,
Tho MASTER of ST. JOHN'S in the Chair,
After a letter from Lord Powis, in reply to one from the Master of
St. John's, written after the meeting of the Heads of Houses, held
on Monday last, bad been read to the meeting,
It was resolved unanimously,—That the beat thanks of this
meeting are due to Lerd l'owis for his ready acquiescence in the wish

Feb. 18,1847.

riIHE COMMITTEE for CONDUCTING the
JL, ELECTION of the EARL OF POWIS to the Chancellorship
of the University of Cambridge beg to submit the following STATE-
MENT to the Members of the Senate:—
When by the lamented death of the late Chancellor it became ne-
cessary to consider the appointment of a successor, it was deemed
desirable to bring forward such a candidate as might be sapposed to
be most acceptable to the general body of the Senate, and to repre-
sent the opinions of the majority of its members.
The interest which the Earl of Fowls had uniformly displayed in all
that concerns the University, and the acquaintance which by his
education and subsequent connexion with it he had maintained with
our academic institutions—the independence of his character and
Position—the seal and energy which he has exhibited in forwarding
the interests of the Church, and his able and effectual support of her
clatms, naturally directed the attention of many members of the Uni-
versity to this nobleman, and steps were immediately taken to obtain
his Lordship's consent to be put in nomination for the high °Mee of
Chancellor.
The Earl of Fowls at once acceded to the request, and the flivour-
able manner in which his Lordship's name has been received assures
this ccmmittoe that the same considerations which led to the first in-
vitation to Lord Fowia will secure the warm and hearty support of
all who feel how important it is to the University that their Chancel-
lor should possess those qualities for which the Earl of Fowls Is se
aatketkpalanesaa.irneathide :anaemte
silit that The The CEonLEimCiTttlooONtr:
eminently distinguished.
DAT, Feb. 25, at Ten o'clock • B.belirsouseof,thme TA:nualite. will be prepared to give their votes for Lord Fowls, in case of an
opposition.
Arrangements will he made for the accommodation and convey-
ance of non-resident voters.
The Committee sit daily, at Mr. Elliott Smith's Rooms, Trinity-
street.

King's College ; or to the Rev. F. France, Honorary Secretary.
