CENTRAL CREVIINAL COURT.
(THIS DAY.)

Harris Jenkins, aged 27, was indicted for stealing two 50/.
Bank of England Notes, the monies of Thonia. igtvay.
It appeared that the prosecutor, a student of Jesu,i College,
Cambridge, went to sleep on the night of the 21 of May last,
leaving a candle burning at his bed side. He was awoke
about an hour afterwards by the bod-curtains catching fire.
He snatched up his clothes, which he deposited in another
room, and went to get assistance, subsequently retiring to
another bedroom. In the morning when he sent for his
clothes, the notes had beeo taken cut of his breeches pocket.
On the 10th of June the prisoner arrived et the Belle-Sauvage
Inn, by the Lincoln coach, when he tendered a 50/. note in
payment of his fare. This eN.cited suspicion, and be was
subsequentlysse taken into custody, when another 50/. note was
upon hiM. He was a servant at the stables where the
Prosecutor kept his horse, and had access to his room.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.

(Abridged from a Morning Cotemporary.)
CAMBRIDGE, MONDAY, JULY 6.
The town is now, although not so crowded as Oxford on the same occasion last year, very full. The morning of yester-
day was very inauspicious, but the weather cleared up a little
just before the Chancellor walked in procession to Great St.
Mary's, preceded by the Bedels carrying their silver maces,
and followed by the Vice-Chancellor, the Duke of Northum-
berland (High Steward), the Marquisses of -Downshire and
Bute; the Earls of Devon, and Brownlow ; Viscount Canter-
bury, Sir Robert Inglis, Sir H. Hardinge, Chief Justice
Tindal, Mr. Justice Patteson, Mr. Goulburn, the Recorder,
Mr. W. Peel, the Proctors, and the Heads of Houses, all in
their habits of ceremony. On reaching the church, the
Chancellor took his seat, with Prince George of Cambridge
on his right, and the Vice- Chancellor on his left, hand. The
Archbishop of Canterbury pronounced the benediction in
church, after which a sermon was preached by Dr. Bowes,
from the 3d Ephesians, Bth and four following verses. The
commemoration of founders and benefactors followed, as usual
on commencement Sunday, and then an exercise for the de-
gree of Bachelor of Music was performed, composed by Mr.
Dearle, of Queen's, the organist of Newark-upon-Trent. The
Chancellor heard in the afternoon a sermon by the Bishop of
Glocester, at St. Mary's, and at four o'clock service was per-
formed in King's College chapel, for which only a limited
number of tickets was issued. The Chancellor was not there
himself, but several distinguished personages, who were in St.
Mary's in the morning, attended. I observed the Archbishop
of. Canterbury and Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence.
The evening was very stormy, but after seven o'clock the
sua peered out again, and as I walked along towards Clare-
hall piece, groups of persons were hastening in all directions to
that common centre of attraction. I cannot say much for the
company there till about eight o'clock, by about which time
Trinity -Chapel hour was over, and then the greater part of the
rank, beauty, and fashion which Cambridge now contains filled
the courts of Trinity and King's, and the grounds of the latter
college. The Chancellor came for a few minutes into King's,
but the heavy rain which had fallen must have made it dan-
gerous for him to remain longer out in the open air. He wore
the garter which attracted the attention of a compassionate
dame in the crowd, and elicited from her the remark, that the
Marquis was a fine-looking gentleman, but it was a pity he
should be so lame as to require a bandage to his leg.
The
company continued to stroll about the grounds until past nine
o'clock, when daylight failed, and they were
.obliged, with
apparent reluctance, to separate for their respective habi-
tations.
There is a grand dinner given to-day by the Master of
Jesus College, for which they have erected a spacious tent,
ornamented with various flags, and covering the whole of the
inner court ; but it has been so soaked with the rain that fell
yesterday and last night, that I hear they apprehend it will
be necessary to entertain the distinguished guests in the hall.
Should the master be obliged to resort to this alternative, there
certainly will not be accommodation for half the party in-
vited. The list includes the Chancellor, Prince George of
Cambridge, the Duke of Cumberland, Count Pozzo di Borgo,
the Duties of Wellington, Northumberland, Grafton, and
Buccleuch ; the Marquises of Londonderry, Downshire,
Exeter, and Douro; the Earls of Aberdeen, Devon, Ba-
thurst, Hardwicke, Sheffield, and Burlington ; Viscounts
Canterbury, Milton and Mahon ; Lords Camden, Henniker,
Carrington, Prudhoe, Lyndhurst, Abinger, Farnborough, De
Lisle, Littleton, Bayning, Alford, Holmesdale, Haddo, Sid-
ney, Clive, Castlereagh, Adolphus Fitzclarence, and J.
Stuart ; Sirs J. Graham, E. Sugden, H. Hardinge, J. Bec-
kett,. E. Kerrison, Mr. Law, Mr. Goulburn, Chief Justice
Tindal, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Bishops of
London, Gloucester, Carlisle, Bath and Wells, Exeter, Lien-
daff, and Lincoln.
In addition to the dinner at Jesus, which I have mentioned
above, a breakfast is given to-day by the Master of Sidney to
500 persons, and there are various other entertainments pro-
ceeding or in contemplation.
A very general wish having been expressed by gentlemen,
farmers, and yeomen, in the neighbourhood of Cambridge, to
attend the Duke of Wellington on his entrance into town this
morning, his Grace expressed his willingness to allow that
mark of respect to be paid him. Accordingly, numerous par-
ties of horsemen, extremely well mounted, began to assemble
in Trumpington (two miles from Cambridge) between eight
and nine o'clock, and by half-past nine o'clock 400 or 500
were collected to welcome the Noble Duke on his arrival. A
number of carriages, gigs, and vehicles of various kinds, con-
tributed to swell the cavalcade. The horsemen had decorated
themselves and their steeds with branches of laurel, and the
company in carriages bore similar tokens of triumph and wel-
come. About half-past nine it was announced that his Grace
was at hand, and shortly afterwards he drove up in an open
carriage and four, which came by a cross road into the Lon-
don-road at Trumpington ;he was accompanied by the Earl
and Countess De Lawarr. The reception which the Noble
Duke met with was one of the most cordial description, and
only to be exceeded in enthusiasm by the welcome that awaited
him at the Senate-house. As the procession advanced, its
numbers swelled, and by the time it had approached within
half a mile of Cambridge, there were several thousand people
on horseback, in carriages, and on foot, in the Noble Duke's
train. The enthusiasm of the people increased with their
numbers, and when the Noble Duke arrived opposite Adden-
brooke's Hospital, they insisted upon taking the horses from
his carriage and drawing him into Cambridge in triumph.
Countess De Lawarr having, perhaps, less confidence in hu-
man than in brute conveyance, alighted at Mr. Pem'oerton's
gate, and the carriage was drawn from thence to Trinity by
the people.
On arriving in front of King's College, the Duke, who I
have reason to believe then for the first time saw the improve-
ments eff..eted in that quarter of the town within these few
years, expressed his admiration of the buildings in warm terms.
I had the good fortune, along with three or four others
similarly circumstanced, through the kind interposition of one
or two friends who possessed some influence with the authori-
ties, to obtain a private admission to the Senate-house a short
time before the doors were opened for the rest of the audience.
The Senate-house is not so well adapted for the reception of
numbers as the theatre at Oxford, nor is the shape so favour-
able for hearing, but it is a very fine room, and P the space it
contains were made the most of, it might bold 2 000 persons.
On the present occasion, a portion of the area at the end of
the Senate-house was taken up with a raised platferm, covered
with scarlet cloth, and capable of containing about 70 or 80
persons, the Chancellor's chair on a part of the platform
being elevated above the rest. This chair was very hand-
somely covered with crimson velvet, and above it hung the
arms of the Marquis Camden, most superbly embroidered on
crimson silk or velvet, I could not distinguish which. A few
minutes after 10 the ladies were admitted to the raised seats
on each side of the area which were appointed to their use
exclusively, and when these were filled the Masters of Arts
and not a few strangers made their appearance in the area. It
might now be about 20 minutes past 10 o'clock, and the bache-
lors and under graduates, who expected to hare been admitted
by 10 o'clock, began to get impatient, the more so, as they were
sensible that many persons had already obtained the means of
ingress, and two or three panes were very unceremoniously
broken, and the masters inside were recommended as unceremo-
niously to let the undergraduates into their gallery immediately,
with a slight hint that if their recommendation were not quickly
attended to, the consequences would be profitable to the gla-
z!er. The hint seemed not thrown away, for almost imme-
diately afterwards I heard a great scuffling of feet on the stairs
on the south side of the gallery, and in a moment the future
statesmen, lawyers, generals, philosophers, and divines were
rushing along the gallery, each as eager to secure the best
place he could for himself to witness the proceedings, as if his
fortune or his life depended upon the result. The ateatre was
now, the raised platform at the end of the area excepted,
crowded in every part, and it presented a most beautiful spec-
tack, to which the variety of academic costume, and the va-
rious hues of the ladies' dresses, principally contributed.
As soon as the galleries were pretty nearly filled, and the
undergraduates had in some degree recovered from the exhaus-
tion consequent upon their struggle to get settled, evidently
emulous of the stentorian reputation of their Oxford brethren,
they raised their " sweet voices" in a tremendous shout for the
" Chancellor." It is but fair to add that they received, and
continued to receive, considerable assistance from the strangers,
both in the galleries and the area; ay, and from the Masters of
Arts, too, and the watchword was particularly acceptable. The
Chancellor having been duly honoured, the " King" produced
loud and deafening cheers from all parts of the Senate-
house; and the name of the " Queen" elicited still louder
plaudits. " The Duke of Wellington" was received in his
absence, with overwhelming applause, which shook the
building to its centre, so loud and hearty was the cheering.
By this time it drew near eleven o'clock, and the men having
cheered themselves so hoarse as to make the sound of their
voices, when heard singly, ludicrous in the extreme, they
waited for breath and the arrival of the Chancellor. The
Vice-Chancellor was warmly greeted on his arrival, as was alto
Prince George of Cambridge, who was dressed in the Hano-
verian uniform, with a star on his left breast. Somewhere
about twelve o'clock the splendid cortege entered the building,
the bedels leading the way before the Chancellor, who wore
the collar, riband, and George of the Garter, the- more distinc-
tive mark of the order being buckled of course round his left leg.
He wore a black velvet cap, with a very large and heavy gold
tassel dangling from it, and a black velvet robe, most magnifi-
cently trimmed with very deep bars of geld lace on the collar,
down the sides, and round the edge of his train, which was
borne up by a gentleman who followed. As he advanced up
the centre of the area, followed by all those distinguished per-
sons whose names I shall have occasion to mention presently,
a most appalling shout of welcome and congratulation burst
from all the gownsmen, and the cheering continued till long
after he had taken his stand in front of the chair set for him,
and his train had been carefully thrown by the trainbearer over
the back of it. At last the sounds ceased, but in a moment the
thunder of the human voice again shook the edifice in a manner
almost unexampled, for the name of the " Duke of Welling-
ton" was no sooner heard, than every tongue paid its vociferous
but cordial tribute to the hero of Waterloo ; I, of course,
except the ladies, who, however, displayed their enthusiasm
in the waving of handkerchiefs and scarfs, which they kept up
as long as the cheering lasted, full five minutes. " One cheer
more" being so often repeated, that I began to think the
number meant eternity as well as unity. I never saw the Duke
look better. He was dressed much as usual, except with the
addition of a small star. The enthusiasm of the tenants of the
galleries was, however, by no means exhausted ; and the cheers
of gratulation, and the hiss of scorn, each for its appropriate
rallying word, was not spared. " The Ladies" ( Cheers)—
" again" (Cheers), and " One cheer more." (Cheers.)
" The Bishop of Exeter." (Great cheering.) " The King."
( Applause.) " The Queen." (Vehement cheering.) " Prid.
George." (Considerable applause.) " The High Stewarnce

Duchess of Northumberland." (Cheering.) " The Univer-
