UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.
THE PUBLIC ORATORSHIP.
CAMBRIDGE, OCT. 30.—The official return of the poll,
taken on the contest for the Public Oratorship, agrees
exactly with the numbers telegraphed by our corre-
spondent at the close on Thursday night, via.:—,Bateson,
458; Williams, 396. Mr. Williams has issued an address
of thanks to his supporters, in which he says:--
"I cannot take leave of the contest in which we have
been engaged without some expression of gratitude to
those by whom it has been justly earned. We have not
succeeded in attaining our object; but I can never regret
an attempt, in which so many old friends have given me
most convincing proofs of kind regard, and many mem-
bers of the Senate, whose approval is in itself distinction,
have recorded their unbiassed votes in my favour.
" There are many also among my opponents who have
treated me with a courtesy of which I must beg them to
believe me not insensible."
Mr. Bateson having complied with all the statutable
formalities, has been duly installed in the office.
The Cambridge Chronicle presents the following
analysis of the poll:

THE BOTANIC GARDEN.—The plantations in the ex-

the autumn of 1846, are growing remarkably well, and
promise in a very few years to afford efft anal shelter to
the interior of the garden. The trees in this belt con-
sist of those natural families which contain the specimens
of largest growth. The interior part of the ground has '
been trenched and prepared, and the hardy herbaceous
plants, to the number of 1,776 species, have been trans-
ferred from the old garden to the new one. Contributions
of 890 species, in which the garden was deficient, have
been received lately from known cultivators, to whom a
list of the said deficiencies has been sent.by the curator.
Other liarts of the ground which have been prepared for
planting are destined for receiving the various shrubs
and trees . of smaller growth ; and in order to
take advantage of the present season, the planting of
these portions of the arboretum will (in accordance with

commended to the Senate that the Vice-Chancellor be
authorised to expend upon the same a sum not exceed-
