70 THE MEMBERS OF',TITE'SENATE' OF THE UNI-
VERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.
Grwri.Euvr, • - • ••• IT has of late been promulgated so generally, that
it is my intention and my duty to retire from the eimbest for
the Representation of the University, that 1 feel it incumbent
Upon me to take this public mode of meeting both these state-
menta; of assuring you in the first place, that I am determined to
come to the Poll on Tussn'AY next, and of satisfying you, that if it
he the duty of any Candidate to retire, that duty does not devolve
upon me.

You will recollect, that I came fortiard'as a Candidate for the
Representation of the University on the death of Mr. Satyric
Among the first of those who cannot consent to make further
mtattiont to the Roman Catholics, I was one of the first that
intimated an intention to stand. I received considerable encour-
*moat, hut at once withdrew my , pretensions, in deference to
the eupsrior station and elaitns of the SPIAKTA, nor could I, from
wy neessisry absence on public duty in Ireland, resume my can-
'tan on his subsequent retirement. ' I gave, however, the most
catinet intimation, that I should, on the next occasion, solicit
Your nitffrages, arid, in conformity with the pledge so given, I now
"tile forward. I hare stated to you, individually, the ground
iiPoti which I rest my claim to your support, that of undeviating
t,eilment to the Constitution of my Country; and, you cannot
to be aware, that I have nearly 20 years, steadily and comas..
tittiv resisted the admission of RomanCatholies to Political POwer
a t!tn Protestant State. I have had' stafitient opportunity of
rerteining that my principles are not disapproved by you. I
1:e "(lived distinct promises of suppott from nearly 500 tnetn.
am re of the Senate ; a number greater than that ever polled by
toceessful Candidate, excepting Mr. PITT. I have received.
dt" most encouraging assurances from many others, who have
I:elint'd Pledging their Votes until the period of Election, and I
4' it to you to decide, whether with this body of support, it
Would be becoming in me to retire
• P .'ety sacrifice of personal interest or distinction, I would will-
itakp, to ensure the success of the principles which I have
l'aifurtnly maintained; hut, I feel- that I should be betraying the
enaftdonce re to. I in me, if I were now to abandon i contest'
ebirh gives me no fair a prospect 'of zealously representing your
options in Parliament. - •

wasedso accused of aisaulting thr,ollicer.
It appeared that the defendant, who bedlived with Lady Smith
for nine months, had frequently so misbehaved, that it was thought
that his services should be dispensed with, but upon his promising
not to offend for the future, he was continued in his employ. Yea-
terdaY evening, however, he behaved in the rudest manner to Lady
Smith and her sons. A party had been invited to dinner at 6 o'clock
precisely. The company arrived, and on being escorted to the
dining-room, the tables were. found to be quite bare. Th. bell
was rang directly, when the defienlant appeared quite drunk, with
a piece of roast beef in his hand, but refused to lay the cloth
till all the company had left the room. Remonstrances were in
vain, and on one of Lady Smith's sons approaching him, he vim(
him by the collar, whereupon Kirby the officer was sent for, anti
he was taken into custody, but rug until he had struck the office*.

The defendant here expressed hit contrition for the ()Nitre, but
was told that such conduct could not be looked over, and he NV al
committed in default of bail.

COURT OF CHANCERY—(Tau DAY.)
IN TIM NIATTNIt OF ROBIINTS...A. NANICILUYT

Mr. HOItNIR appeared to open this petition to supersede the
Commission of Bankrupt taken out in a very extraordinary way
against the late Earl of Craven'. coachman, by a, wealthy brewer
at Reading the petition stood specially appointed for to-day.
Mr. Ream) said he Wal on the other side, and he had been just
instructed to state that the petition had otood overfrom last Satur-
day till to-day, to give the bankrupt an opportunity of tiling, affi-
davits, he undertaking to file none after. lut. Tuesday, and, to give
copies to the other side, but that affidavits had been tiled only last:
night, which had notyet been seen.
Mr. Horts:a stated that no such undertaking had been given by
his client, but he wished to take nothing like an advantage of
the other side, and therefore he would not press, the petition
at present, provided it stood for an early day.
tiffs LORDSHIr ordered it to stand peremptorily for Wednesday'
next.

BUCK V. STACEY.
His Loansiitr stated that he was decidedly of opinion the mo-
tion to commit the defendant for a breach of injunction must
he refused ; and A% to the propriety of raising er not rais-
ing the defendant's roof, the best order he could make was
to direct two issues, first, whether the defendant had a right
to do what he has done;. and secondly, if he had no right to
do it, then what damage the plaintiff had sustained by the act;
adding to this order, that the defendant should be at liberty
to go on to cover in hit partly finished building, both he and the
plaintiff undertaking to abide by any order the Court might think
proper to make after the return of the verdict.

Slr. HAAT, on the part of the defeudsut, strenuously resisted
the order, but

His Lounsittr, though he did not at present make the older,
assured Mr. Hart that this was the best judgment for his client
the Court could possibly give.
Mr. HOAX, was quite willing tc,p agree to this sort of order.
Mr. HART at last consented to consult with his client upon the
propriety of assenting Lordship's tnaking•tltis mite.

plied it with every kind of medicine and application titer disease
wee thought to require. At length tLe defewlant 'required hisbill
to be enrt in. It was accordingly delivered, and amounted to 17/.
add. The defendant paid 10/. on account, and objected to paying
the retnairider, for tlie' recovery of which this action wee brought.
witneascs were called to prove the delivery of wnie of
the drOgs, but they failed in some, itt consequence of the servant
who delivered them for the plaintiff, having been discharged from

his employ ionic time since.
Dr. Welshthan was called, and stated that he knew ate-plaintiff,.
and always considered him a man of talent and a good practitioner;
he conceived the charges in the bill fair and reasonable.
On the part of the defendant Mr. EARL,: addressed the Jury.
He said, that his client from the first had disputed the hill, con-
ceiving the articles charged to be exorbitant in the extreme, and
outrageous to a man of even common sense ; and in the next
place, because' he felt satisfied that not one hid of the medi
cine charged had been delivered. Ile was no judge of medicine
himself, but When he sari- medicine to the amount of one pound,
twelve shillings, supplied in one day to a child only,three years-
old ! he thought that nothing could arise feont ouch- administrations
but ill. He would just recount the quantities of Medicine, &c :
-given to this poor infant in nine successive days—one bleeding,
two blisters, seven leeches, two mixtures, eighteen powders, and
,thirty draughts!--(Loud laughter.)—Why, enough for Chttny
himself. -it:wellthrough these exorbitant deliveries of, medicine
that his client had refused to pay the balance of his account. He
would not make any remarks upon the whole of the charges, but
just content himself with saying, that merely for the bleeding of
the child the plaintiff had charged five shillings ! In addition to
what he had stated, (which he considered would weigh in the minds
of the Jury in favour of his client), the servant-maid of Mr. Saxon

had repeatedly told the servant of the plaintiff, by orders of her
master that no more medicine was required, yet he continued to
send in the drugs, in almost greater quantities than he had done
before. It would be for the jury, after-the kayoed judge had suin,
med. the ease up to them, to decide whether or not, his client
ought not to have their verdict.
Mr. linANT, the learned judge, then recapitulated the whole of
the evidence, and the jury pronounced a verdict fir the plaintiff,

OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,--I observe, among the minor topics discussed
in the House of Commons on Thursday evening
(20th), the enforcement of the laws respecting the
violation of the Sabbath briefly commented upon by
Sir J. SEBRIGHT, on the occasion of presenting, a
Petition from the Thames Waterman. This respect-
able body complain, apparently with great justice, that,
by the partial infringement of the laws alluded to they
are .prevented from following their avocation on Sun-
days, whilst their formidable rivals, the steam-boats,
are allowed to traffic unmolested, and they might have
added, I think, with equal truth and justice, the whole
host of public conveyances of every description, be-
sides hired private ones ; and for myself, I do not
see. why the same principle should not be extended to
other private conveyances, not literally hired, as well to
equestrianism and pedestrianism in the abstract ; or,
in short, where is the limit to be drawn ? Much as I
am disposed to admire the wisdom of our Legislature
in general, I confess I have always thought the enact-
ments respecting the observance of Sunday very unfair
in their principle, and very inadequate and partial in
.theirapplications they have more than any other.
4aws, however well administered, a direct tendency to
'irritate and oppress the lower classes, while they leave
they higher absolutely untouched. I willingly admit,
in general, that-such enactment is necessary to secure
the cessation of public , business and the closing of
'shops, tke.; but we think a number of petty details,
which the enforcement of these laws is often made to
einbme, had infinitely better be let alone. So far
from promoting the cause of Religion, we are con-
vinced,, from facts and experience, that such regula-
.tions have a direct tendency to'produce a hatred for
•Religion. So far ,from being serviceable to thecause
•of morality, I am satisfied they only driive the lower
classes into dissipation and vice.

THE KING.

The King's health continues,to improve daily. It
was sufficiently re-established on Friday to permit him
to dine with the party at the Royal Lodge--the first
day he has honoured the Members of his Household
with his company at table since' the marriage of Lord
and Lady Strathaven. Sir CharleS Ling dined with
his Majesty, who was in excellent spirits, and played a
round' of whist in the evening,as he usually does when
in health. On Saturday the Marquess of Conyng-
ham left the Royal Lodge preparatory to a grand en-
tertainment which he gave in honour of the King's
Birth-day. The Duke of Montrose and the Duke of
Dorset, the principal Officers of the Household, also
had- late dinner parties yesterday at their respective
residences in town, in celebration of the day.

and-several of his Majesty's horses were brought to
London, previous to the King's expected arrival on
Wednesday (to-morrow).
Sunday morning, early the Duke of York left town
for Newmarket.

On Sunday Prince Leopold gave another grand
and numerous dinner party. Among the company
were the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Feodore, the
Duke of Somerset, the Marquis and Marchioness of
Lansdown, the Marquis and Marchioness of Salis-
bury, the Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury, the
Marquis anti Marchioness of Clanricarde, Mr. Secre-
tary Canning, Earl and Countess Vernlam, Earl and
Countess Darnley, and Lord and Lady Burghersh.
The Duke of Clarence arrived in town yesterday,
from his seat at Bushy. His Royal Highness re-
turned to` Bushy about four o'clock.
Dispatches were sent off on Friday night for the
Duke of Wellington, to meet his Grace at Brussels.
Yesterday the Duke of Devonshire had a long in-
terview with Mr. Secretary Canning, at the Foreign
Office.

Yesterday. afternoon, at three o'clock, a Cabinet
Council was held at the Foreign Office, summonses

Canning, Earl Bathurst, the' Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, Mr. Wynn, and Lord Bexley. The Cabi-
net continued sitting tilt nearly half-past four o'clock,

seen Midshipmen of a quarter of a century's standing
placed ,under the command
,of those who have enjoyed
six or , seven years of pleasurable excursions on the
water. The Atimiralty,writer asks if persons ought to be
promoted who are so obscure that the public know nothing
of them. We say it is the practice topromote persons,
who though very well known to the Admiralty or their
friends, are very obscure in the service. The men -who
from early life have toiled with the common sailors—
who know their habits—who have shared their dan-
gers—who value their generous qualities, and can
command their hearts—these are the men under whose
protection the honour of the British flag can with
safety be placed. But those who have political or
hereditary claims, had better be quartered on our
finances in any other way, than be thrust into com-
mands which expose them to painful or ridiculous
comparisons and devote the Navy to eventual ruin.

Wm.' Hope, an oilman in Clerkenwell, was brought up at the
close of the Sittings, last week, when his discharge was opposed
by Mr..Cooxa, for Mr. Armstrong, and several other large
creditors, who had instructed'
.Mr. Dnncombe, solicitor of Cle-
ment's Inn and Great Berkbampstead, to prepare instructions
against the insolvent's discharge, on the ground of fraudulent con-
tract and undue preference.
The case occupied the Court the whole day, and the allegations
were distinctly proved against the petitioner, in consequence of
which the Court, after animadverting upon the yrolignity and
dishonesty of the insolvent's conduct, ordered him to be confined
within the walls of the King's Bomb prison, for fifteen calendar
months, for fradulently 'making away with his property ; and that
during that period he should be deprived of the privilege of rules,

THE FUNDS.

The transactions in the Funds continued on a very
limited scale till the close of bniiness last night, when
Consols for the Account'were 791. The, Receipts
foe the New Scrip 'were not delivered, but they bore
a premium of about per cent.

City, 12 o'clock this day.

In
consequence of its being a close holiday to-day
at the Bank, Stock Exchange, and Foreign Market,
most of the. Brokers and Jobers have assembled on
the Royal Exchange; but up to the present time no
business worth mentioning has been transacted. Con-
gots may be quoted nominally at nil, for the Ac-
count—Mexicans have been done at 65, buyers ;
ColoMbia at 45.

One o' Clock.

Within this hour the assemblage of brokers and
jobbers have encreased on the Royal Exchange, and a
good deal'has been doing in South American' securi-
ties, which lia've risen in consequence of a report that
the Pyramus frigate had arrived from Vera Cruz with
.4 great quantity of dollars on board from the Mexican
Government, to pay the dividends. Consols have.
been entirely neglected this morning, and scarce a bar-
gain doing. Accounts. this morning state that the
corvette Bolivar, going to the United States with offi-
cers on board for the ships purchased by he Colombian
. Government .there, has been captured by two Spanish
frigates.

Consols are up to the present time 791 1; for the
Account nothing doing ; Mexican, 65. ; Colombian,
43t;1 Scrip, -17 ; Peruvian, 31.

City, two o'clock.
A considerable number of the Jobbers in Foreign
Securities assembled- on Change ; and Mexican Stock
has been done at sixty-six, being one and one-half per
Cent. rise eince our quotation of yesterday. The
reason given for this alteration is, that a ship has been
spoken with, homeward bound, containing a large
remittance of dollars from the Mexican Government,
and consigned to its Agent here ;-:-Mexican Stock
(two o'clock) 6.51 ; Colombian , Bonds have been
done at 44, and may now be quoted at 43i. In
Consols, there LS nothing doing. The price is 7911.

His IVIAJSTY, it is understood, will not come to
town to, day, nor is it now certain that he will to-
morrow.

An Evening Paper of yesterday, in communicating
intelligence from Windsor of the movements of the

THE KING'S BIRTH-DAY.

Yesterday his Majesty's Birth-day was celebrated with the cos-
, tornat7-rejoicings and festivity. The morning of St. George's
Day was ushered in by the report of guns and the ringing of
bells. It was a holiday at the public offices, and the flag of Eng-
' land waved from the summit of every public building in the Me-
tropolis. . A beautiful view from Waterloo Bridge was presented
to the eye. Nearly 100 flags were to be seen floating in the
wind. Surrey in its show of loyalty made an humble attempt
to vie with Middlesex. The beautiful pillar on the Surrey side
of Waterloo Bridge, which has been erected for a shOt- manufac-
tory, had a magnificent appearance. The stone cross at its-
highest elevation being surmounted by the standard of Eng-
land, gave a finished appearance to the noble structure.
The military for the different guards appeared on the Parade
in St. James's Park, in new clothing; the King's Guard, being
composed of Grenadiers, under the command of the Hon.
Colonel Townsend, the Field Officer in Waiting.
,The bands of
the three regiments of Foot Guards attended on this occasion in
their full state uniforms, and marched up to the Palace with the
King's Guard, preceded by the three head Drum-Majors of the
three Regiments, in their full state regimentals. The novelty of
having the three Bands assembled in the Palace-yard at the same
time, induced the Colonel to detain them nearly an hour after the
Guard had been relieved, to play for his gratification and that of
some friends.

The Park and Tower guns fired a double Royal Salute at one
*look.

The following were among the official dinners given upon the
occaYion

men connected with him in the Treasury.

CLUB HOUSES IN ST. JAMES'S.

United Service.—A large and very magnificent. Imperial Crown,
and underneath G. IV. R. On each side were large wreaths of
laurels, and the effect was very beautiful,
University.—A Star of extraordinary magnitude, richness, of
colours, and brilliance, which was surmounted with an Imperial
Crown. On each side the Crown were laurelled wreaths formed
in festoons. Over the Crown, in the centre, were placed an elegant
device and scroll. The coup devil was truly grand, and almost
unrivalled in splendour and richness of effect. _

, The Guards.:—A star placed in the centre, and on each side
the military stars of the Coldstream and Horse Guards. On each
side were placed G. R. in large letters, and under the whole was
a splendid device,, representing a hand-grenade, and star of the
Grenadier Guards. The whole was truly grand. The light
was so excessive, the eye could not gaie on it for more than a

moment.
The, Travellers.—Wreaths of laurel, imd festoons of variegated
lamps, surrounding G. R. and CrOwn, which gave a. pretty effect.
Cafel Royale—The,cha.ste and beautiful display in front of this
hotel was well conceived and executed by the artist. There was,
Formed of varied coloured lamps, an extraordinary sized Union
Jack ; the colours were very brilliant, and gave universal pleasure.
UnionA large tree represented-by variegated laMps, with an

Naval—Crown and Anchor, very magnificent, with G. R.
The illuminations in the city were very splendid,, and excited
general admiration. The house of Messrs. Rundell and Bridges,
in Ludgate-street, was the most attractive. In the front of the
house was as G. IV. P. in variegated lamps, surmounted by a su-
perb Crown, and ornamented on each side by latirel leaves.—The
whole was surmounted by a double row of lamps.
Mr. Blades, the glass-manufacturer, nearly opposite to Messrs.
Minden and Bridges, had his house most tastefully and brilliantly
illuminated with gas. In the centre was placed the G. IV. IL
and laurel leaves were placed on each side of the King's Arms, over
the door, which had a most brilliant appearance.
The Angel Inn, at Islington, was also most brilliantly illu-
minated. In the front of the house was a superb G. R., our-
moluitcd by a Crown. Crowds of persons flocked to this house
about eight-o'clock in the evening, to have a peel) at the Northern

-MAIL CO NCHES.

The 3lail COach Contractors assembled at Mr. Vidl,-‘'s,
;11illbank.row,
.where they were regaled with a sumptout cull
collation. On the " King's health" being drank, the guardi
f the different mails played " Ocal save the King" on their
keyed bugles. The coachmen and guards, in their. new cloth
ing, were also regaled with a dinner; after which they went on
a grass plat, at the back,of the house, and drank the King's
health, 'and success to th'e wheels.

Ihe coaches were all new, with new hammereloths. The
harness for the horses was also principally new ; that for the
Gloucester horses was very superior, having the Royal Arens.
&c. on it. The Bristol sported some remarkably fine uniform
gr; ys. The Portsmouth had remarkably fine horses, but they
were all odd. The Edinburgh had a very pod set-out of bays.
The Gloucester had a 'novel and remarkably fine matched s•t

The Tradesmen' of his Majesty also manifested, in a convivial

NEW DIORAMA AT PARIS.

A new Diorama has beets opened at Paris, the subject of which
is the Monastery of St. Vaudrille, near Raciest. This monastery
was founded in 648, by a monk celebrated for his piety, and who
gave it his name. , Destroyed in 862 by the Normans, rebuilt in
10113, consumed by fire in 1250, and in 1255 it was finally replaced
in its original state by the Abbe Pierre' de Mauviel. Since that
period, centuries have been silently at work upon it ; and at the
present day there remains of it little snore than one ruined cloia7
tar, and several fragments of walls, the appearance of which is,
however, verypicturesque. The point of view selected for the
Dioraina presents to the eye two of the galleries of the cloister
(taken from their angle), and in the back ground are the ruins
of the ancient church. The painter and mechanist ,have sup-
posed ~the prevalence of a north-west, wind, which alternately
covers the sky with clouds, and carries theM off. A great effort
his been made to remove from painting the reproach of' innobi-
lity. Every thing is alive the .leaves are agitated, the branches,
the ivy,' and
.the other climbing plants which surround the co-
lumns, are in motion ; the projection of shadows by the fleeting
clouds is distinct; a door placed at the end of the right-hand gal-
lery opens and shuts; finally, the sun, which had been momen-
tarily eclipsed; darts his rays, over the whole country. In the
middle 'of the right-band gallery are seen. some hoards, support-
ing a stone statue which has been taken down front its pedestal ;
:and which is represented with surprising truth. It is evident
.from the details of, the work, that all these ruins have.not been
occasioned by time, but that the much snore rapid humid of man
has greatly contributed to their production. The monastery of
St. Vaudrille bekings at the present day to a proprietor who, not
being sensible of its value, actually sells the venerable ruins by
weight, for the purpose of building. cottages ,and other edifices.!
This fine Mamba is from the pencil, of M. Bouton : M. Da-
guerre is occupied in finishing one made from a sketch which he
took daring his last journey into Switzerland. It will represent
the village of ibtterschein, between the lakes of Tilsit' and Brieng,
in the canton of Berne; and will exhibit one of the most majes-
tic. scenes of the Alps, placed in contrast with the-detads of an
ancient Swiss village, the houses of which, constructed of wood,
are at least 300 years old.—Literary Gazette.

STEAM-SHIP ENTERPRISE.

-----
The Live Tool Chronicle contains a long and in-
teresting' account of the Enterprise's voyage to India.
From the concluding remarks which follow, it does not
seem probable that a passage by such means will ever
become a common one.

Calcutta, Dec. 28, 1825.
On a review of the Enterprise's passage, it is evident.to any
one acquainted with the subject that, first, the very worst season
of the year was stlected for her sailing; secondly, that two more
depots of coals, at least, are wanting, to enable the passage to he
properly effected ; and thirdly, it occurs to me that the ship was
not rigged ' and masted as she ought to have been. It appears
highly probable that, profiting by the knowledge obtained on this
voyage, and attending to the three points I have mentioned, the
voyage may be completed in 75 or SO days ; hut in less than that
I should think hardly possible.
If the distances from point to point round the projections of
Africa and Ceylon are measured, they will be found to be 11,200
miles; to get over this distance in '75 days would compel you to
maks good nearly 150 miles per ,day.

winds are brought into consideration, I think it unlit be pretty
clear, that if ever it is done. in this time, it will be by an
unusual
combination of skill, powers
and enterprise, and that it will be
equal to any undertaking of modern times.
At the same time that I am' thus stating the difficulties that
naturally present themsehes,, I am
,cotifident that it could he
