.URDER OF A WIFE DT lIER HIMIDAND.—On
Sunday last the town of Watlington, Oxon, was thrown into
a state of great excitement, from the fact that Ann, the wife
of John Lambourne, a labourer, had been murdered in the
• course of Saturday evening. Her husband was proved to
be the assassin, having inflicted a deadly blow on the right
Fide of the back part of the head, which separated the scalp
and bruised the bone; another wound was discovered on the
other side of the head, and a third on the right cheek, toge-
ther with several bruises on different parts of the body. The
deceased received those injuries which terminated in her
death early in the evening of Saturday. Being afterwards
left alone, she staggered into the garden, when, after wander-
ing about which fact was discove able from several pools of
"blood in different places) she made again for the door, but
fell from exhaustion. She was found still alive at twelve
o'clock, and carried into the ccatai„e, laid on the bed, where
she died at twenty minutes past eight o'clock on the follow-
ing morning. ler husband, John Lambourne, who had for
a number of years treated her with extreme brutality, often
beating her with sticks and with his fists, was taken into
custody. On Monday an inquest was held upon the body,
and the prisoner was fully committed to Oxford Castle to
take his trial at the next spring assizes, on the charge of
wilful murder.
THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.—The Evangelical
Alliance terminated its conference in Liverpool on Thursday
evening. It is proposed to hold an assembly in London next
year, probably during the time of the Exhibition, of Chris-
tians of all nations.

THE REPRESENTATION OF
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.

ELECTION OF MR. WIGRAM.

CAMBRIDGE, OCT. 4.—The Vice-Chancellor having
appointed this day (Friday) for the election of "
burgess" to represent the University in Parliament
in the room of the late Mr. Law, a Convocation took
place in the Senate-house for that purpose. The at-
tendance was but thin, there being only about 50
members of the Senate present, with a few spectators
in the galleries. There were but few ladies present.
Among the members of the Senate we noticed the
Masters of Jesus, Catharine-hall, and Trinity ; Pro-
fessors Challis and Clark, Doctors Woodham, Paget,
Broadley, and Drosier; Rev. W. Carus, M.A. Tri-
nity College ; Rev. J. E. Dalton, Queen's College ;
Rev. F. W. Harper, St. John's College; Rev. Harvey
Goodwin, Corpus Christi College ; Rev. Charles Clay-
ton, Caius College; Rev. W. B. Hopkins, St. Catha-
rine's-hall ; Rev. Mr. Dodd, Magdalene College ; Mr.
Stokes, M.A., Caius College ; Mr. Bumpstead, M.A.,
King's College, &c. Mr. Wigram was present, and
during the proceedings entered into conversation with
his suppollers and other members of the Senate. A
Congregation being called, the senior proctor (Mr.
Middleton, King's College) proceeded to read the
writ and the Sheriff's precept enjoining the election
of "a fit and discreet burgess" to represent the in-
terests of the University. The Act against bribery
and corruption having been read, the oaths were ad-
ministered to the Vice-Chancellor, as returning-
officer, by the senior proctor, the Master of Catharine-
hall acting as witness. A number of members of the
Senate, including most of the above-named, then
handed in their cards, whereon was inscribed the
name of Mr. Wigraw, his more influential sup-
porters Toting first, and there being no opposition, a
scrutiny was taken, and Mr. Wigram was declared
by the senior proctor to be duly elected. The neces-
sary official documents announcing the return of Mr.
Wigram having been filled in by the Rer. the
Registrary and duly executed, the proceedings ter-
minated.
