TUE PUBLIC ORATORSHIP.
CAMBRIDGE, OCT. 25.—The nomination by the Heads
of Houses of two gentlemen to proceed to the poll for
the office of Public Orator took place this morning. Mr.
Bateson, of St. John's, and Mr. Williams, of King's, are

... 10

For Mr. Williams (King's) 10
For Mr. Frere (Trinity) ... ... 7
It remains to be seen into which scale the preponde.
rating influence of Trinity will be thrown. The chances
are that it will be divided, as Mr. Williams is a Coa:;er-
vative, and w ill secure the votes of that party (for politics
enters into this as well as all else) and those who look
with an eye of jealousy on the office going to St. John's.
Mr. Bateson, on the other hand, is a Liberal, as aro also
many of the fellows of Trinity. The poll opens at 9
o'clock to-morrow (Thursday) morning.

rADVERTISEM ENT.] —ln d igesti on .—No medicine has
proved so efficient for the curs of indigestion and diseases
of the stomach as Worsdell's Vegetable Restorative Pills,
prepared by John Kaye, Esq., of Dalton-hall, near Hud-
dersfield. All who have used them speak in the highest
terms of gratitude and praise as to their wonderful effi-
cacy. Mr. Charles Adams, farmer, of Cheddeston, near
Bungay, suffered from indigestion and extreme debility
for seven years, during which period he was attended by
two medical gentlemen. He was said to be in a consump-
tion, and no hopes were given of his recovery. He de-
tnmined, however, to give the Vegetable Restorative
Pills a fair trial. He experienced great relief from tak-
ing the first box; and, to his great surprise and comfort,
perseverance in the use of them restored him to perfect
health. Observe: John Kaye's coat of arms and a fac-
simile of his signature are on the directions for use
wrapped round each box. Price Is. IV., 2s. 9d., or
4s. Gd. per box; to be had of all respectable Chemists
and Medicine Venders.

THE NORTII-WEST-ERN RAILIVAL—The directors
of this company have been anxiously engaged for several
days in preparing a detailed statement of their accounts.
