Bishop of Oxford, arrived ut Catherine-hall; they were

the royal party was received with long and loudly re-
sounding applause. Shortly after the commencement of
the concert the Marquis of Lansdowne entered the
Senate-house and took his seat at the door in order not to
disturb the proceedings ; which her Majesty observing,
sent one of the Doctors on her right, and commanded his
appearance on the platform, where the Noble Marquis
took his seat on the left of the Prince Chancellor. The
