UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

OXFORD, Jura 25.—.4t was naturally to be ex 7
peettd that the unusual s.plendotar with which the
Commencement at Cambridge is this year, and
now in the course of a few days, to be celebrated,
should have had the effect OF deducting something
from the. gaieties of our own Commemoration ;
acid, accordingly, the University has not been
able to count so full an attendance upon her. late
remonial as she' had) been able to do upon some
former occasions.

on Tuesday morning the Governors of the Rad-
cliffe Infirmary held their annual Meeting in the
Radcliffe Librttry, and from thence proceeded,
exactly at- eleven o'clock, to St. Mary's Church,
where Divine Service was performed in the
course of which were introduced, wi'.l) a truly
sublime effect, the 7'e Deum and Jubilate, the
Anthem, ," When the ear heard," and the old
hundredth Psalm. A, Sermon in behalf of the
ttadeliffe ;nfirmary waf, then preached.by the very
Reyrrend the Dean .of WorcisTer. The Rev.
Divine' selected his Text from St. Matthew,
.chap. xxvi. v 11, " For ye have the poor always
with you ;" and ailvoCated' the interests of this
benevolent Institution in an admirable and highly
appropriate discourse. We were-glad-to see the
-church crowded to its very extremities, and the
Collection at the doors amounted to 1351. 10s.—
