CAb IDGE UNIVER si'ry ELECTION.

The following let,era have appeared in the Cambridge
Chronicle :

" Mr. Lubbock's C.mmittee-room, Nov. 28.

" Sir,--I have to request that you will insert in your
Journal the following letter from Professor Airy, ad-
dressed to myself, as chairman of Mr. Lubbock's com-
mittee. The members of the Senate must be anxious to
know the qualifications of one who for the first time
offers himself as a candidate for the representation of
the University; and as some of them might be un-
acquainted with Mr. Lubbock's high rank as a man of
science, I wrote to Profissor Airy, in the name of the
committee, requesting the sanction of this opinion on that
single point. He is never lavish of his praise, and
his reply is not written in the spirit of a party man,
but it places Mr. Lubbock's scientific claims in a point of
view sufficiently exalted to satisfy his warmest supporters,
and !ournis them upon statements against which no one
will venture to raise a cavil. Not wishing to diminish
ly any comment of my own the impression such a letter
fitted to produce on every unbiassed mind, I ciinciude
by earnestly recommeliding it to the consideration of the
electors of the University of Cambridge.

" I have the honour to be, Sir,
" Your obedient servant, _
" A. SEDGWICK.

" To the Editor of the Cambridge Chronicle."
"Observatory, Cambridge, Nov. 28.
"My dear Sir,—l understand that it is wished by yours
self and by several of Mr. Lubbock's friends that I should
publicly express my opinion of his scientific talents and
reputation ; perhaps I can do that in no way better theft
by referring to those of his papers which bare
'red in the transactions of the Royal Society. Pia
character I may state in a few words : they were the first
which p aced us on a level as to our pretensions to original
investigation in the highest branches of mathematics!
philos ,phy with the other nations of Europe. There was 1
time (and not many years since) when our national and
scientific character was extremely low. In the memoir.
of oilier countries there appeared almost every year unit
thematical investigations hearing immediately on the mug
impiirtant points of natural philosophy, and contributing -,
especially to the accuracy of astronomical prediction. Ito
the English transactions nothing similar appea ed. Its
the century of Newton these inquiries were unknown. IL
single subject pursued by one of our most original maths
maticians forms (as I believe) the only exception to this
statement; and of all the rest of physical astronomy, IS
think it may be asserted, that it was known to very few! z;
familiar to scarcely two or three, and followed up is'.'
original investigations by none. This reproach was re-,
move l front us by Mr. Lubbock ; and if a scientific chit•
racter is valuable to a nation, our gratitude is due to him.
" I have not in-ntioned M.. Lubbock's contributioe.,
(of the same kind) to the Royal Astronomical Society, nor
his active superintendence and laborious discussion of ob-
servatians on a subject most itnportant, both in a philoise•
phical and commercial point of view—the tides; I sen,,,
willing to rest my opinion on the investigations above re•'
ferretl to, nor do I think rny'elf entitled to allude in detail:
to his conduct in the prominent situation which (ny the *
consent of all parties) he has occupied in the Royal So
ciety. I shall content myself with saying, as the general.'
opini n, that to him is due in no small degree the teal Of
co-operation, and the spirit of unanimity, whose absence:
once ,eerned likely to overthrow the amat'venerable scien
tific as,bciation in Europe.

" 1 au:, !ny clear Sir, faithfully yours, '
" G. B. AIRY.

Committee."

WESTMINSTER DEPUTATIOS,HOUSE
AND WINDOW TAX.

In conscqtunce of the resteutions of a public meeting et
the parishes in Westminster, held on Tuesday, a very nu-•
merous deputation, headed by Sir F. Burdett an I Sir •
J hu Elobbouse, waited on Lord Al-herp yesterday, on the
subject of the repeal of the house and window tax.
Mr. A'BECKETT, of St. James's, began by stating that
the deputation waited on his Lordship on the subject of t
the assessed taxes, and begged to impress on him his
opinion that neither this nor any Administration could)
continue without relieving the people from the house and
window tax. An application from his parish would have,
been made before, indeed a petition very numerously sign
had been in the hands of Sir John Hothouse fur a cow-
siderable time, but had not been presented from theitt
anxious desire to do nothing to embarrass the Government!:
during the agitation of the Reform Bill. He then intro-)
duced Mr. Wyld, of S*. Martin's, who read the ramble!
tions, which were strongly condemnatory of these taxes,
and which have already appeared in our columns.
Sir JOHN HOESI4OUSE said his Lordship would recollect:
that on two occasions he bad introduced the subject of I
these particular taxes to the notice of Parliament, be
thought in 1822 and 1821, on both which occasions be
believed he was correct in stating that he had had hiss?
Lordship's stippott ; he might add, that in the interval
between the two motions, be had received an accession of
crength from the Members of the House, as the latter
motion was only lest by a small majority. He could con4i
firm the statement of Mr. A'Beekett, that the greatest
anxiety bad always prevailed in the city of Westminster
on this subject, and that nothing but the Reform
would have prevented the presentation of the petitions, not
only from St. James's and St. George's, but from every •
other parish in Westminster. He was aware that the:4
same anxiety prevailed now to obtain a repeal of those
justly odious imposts. It was an unpleasant fact to be
stated to a Chancellor of the Exchequer, but he felt it his
duty as representative of Westtninster to impress upon hi*
Lerdship, that if these taxes were not discontinued, he had
no hesitation in giving it as his opinion that there would
he great difficulty, if not impossibility, in collecting then
at all. •

Air. BROWN, vestryman of St. James's, dwelt, in a de'
ailed manner, and with great eloquence, on the dispropor..,
ionate way in which the assessments were made, and ea'
tered into an elaborate financial statement on the subject?,
with it ustrations which we are sorry our limits color!,
us to omit.

Mr. EWEN, Mr. ADCOCK, Mr. YUCKNEY, of St. Pell%
Covent-garden (a comtnissioner of taxes), and other 'Deur-.
tiers of the deputation, enforced the preceding sentiments.
Mr. THURSTON, Churchwarden of St. Mary's, "id"
they came there not so much for the purpose of toliciti4
his Lordship to make any promise as to submit the opi"
nions generally ent,rtained by their fellow-citizens.
Lord ALTHORP acknowledged that be W4ll aware thee
did exist great dissatisfaction against these particular taxes, '
but he must impress upon the deputation that his part"
cular duty was to provide a revenue so as not to injure tit. ,
public creditor, and if those particular taxes were reinovetii•:
is well as others he had been applied to to have repealed-.*
'lamely the taxes on koow!edge, there must be some sub.
smote provided. He said it would be imp9ssible for hits '
to give an explicit opinion as to whether it would be in they
power of his Majesty's Government to take off the house
and window tix, but he could only say the revenue was
going on very well, and he was in hopes the Governtnebt'4
would be in a condition to reduce some taxation.
Sir JOHN HOSHoUSE said it was not for hits, any more
than for the gentlemen present, to suggest to his Lordship
svhat substi!ute should be made for these oppressives taxes -1
but lie must repeat what had been said by a friend who boa
s4psottenti,ietmhatwsvouhlidchbewtooupldrobdeuemeotshtisagerffeeecat bbley ettrohr
and economy ; and any Adtninstration under which he had
the honour to serve, and especially his Lordship's Admi-
nistration, would, no doubt, prefer the lessening of the
public burdens, as far as practicable, to any change in the
mode of taxation. ienticalisinweeslig

Sir F. BunnErr felt it his duty at all times to supPugi
his constituents, and had no doubt that the Government
could endeavour to accomplish the wish of the citizeen9_
ty
Westminsier and the country : he bad no hesitation in '
daring the house and window time to be in every lx
of view highly objectionable.
Lord Aurnonr closed the discussion by saying that lb°
statements made by the respectable gentlemen before btv
were highly deserving of, and assuredly would obtain. r
seri ius attention of his Majesty's Government. The ae.
putation then withdrew.

LOA DON,
FRIDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 30, 1832.

The Marquis of PALMELLA'S mission to
this country relates chiefly to an application to
Lord PALMERSTON, founded on some new and
jolportant circumstances on a recognition of the
Regency ; but he has also authority from the
EMPEROR to effect arrangements for placing his
army in a condition to act upon the offensive.
The Marquis has likewise received instructions
to solicit the friendly intervention of the French
cabinet towards hastening the termination of
the contest in Portugal.

We understand that no official account has
heel) received at the Belgian Embassy of the
resignation of the Belgian Ministry. Should
It, however, have occurred in the way related by
the Brussels Correspondents of the Morning
Papers it is not at all probable that the KING
try the hazardous experiment of a new Ca-
"et in the present excited state of the country,
chosen, as it must be, from the Catholic, or Ile-
Publican party, there being no men of note and
Influence of the moderate constitutional party,
who are not either of the present Cabinet or so
connected with ittgat their support may be fully
leekoned upon by the Government. In fact, the
410ption of the amendment of M. DUMONT is
'lot a defeat of the Ministry. This amend-
-111"t is less hostile than the paragraph of I
the commission for which it was instituted ; but
t'hether or not, the question is by no means
1311clusive as regards the Ministry. Of the 102
! ective Members, only 86 were present. Four
.hr five elections were going on ; one Deputy,
' BARTELEMY, is dead, and there remains

or 12 who may come forward on the Appel
"ontinal, and vote for the Government on the
Ire address. Besides, the Senate, in its ad-
reM to the KING, has already approved of the
'lleY of the Cabinet, and consequently its refor-
Ition is quite unnecessary.

Col. DODGIN, one of the oldest officers of
British service, and two other officers of'
4k and high reputation, have offered their

public mind, after busying itself with a
:4 3and political topics, is at length beginning
le"fine its energies and speculations to that,
°I all important points, the election of
Nbers for the Reformed Parliament. In
ter)? town and county, as we gather from the
4111tial Journals, candidates and their consti-
ets are on the alert. The Tory faction is
than ever vigilant, though it works like the
:m mole, in secrecy and darkness, and is
rd
noticed, except from the dirt, in the
'Pe of abuse, that it now and then throws up.
tilts party flatter itself that it is likely to
14ess even a shred of influence in a future
)tise of Commons, the sooner it dismisses such
elusion the better. Even its new title of
onservative,- notwithstanding the plausi-
tY of the title, will scarcely gain it an extra
'; for a Conservative is but a re-baptized
tY, with the leave of the old Adam still cling-
► about him as tenaciously as ever. The
iltry knows this full well, and will. put forth

'faction. It is lucky that the Tories have got up
