Committee Rothi, June 9, two o'clock.

Union Hotel, June 9, 1826.
Goulburn's.Committee have had the honour of re-
ceiving your communication of this day, in which you propose a
comparison of the lists of promises given to Mr. (Joulburn and
Mr. Bankes, iO ordcr that the one of these two candidates who
may have received the smaller number Should withdraw his pre-
tensions to the representation of the University.
Mr. Gottlburn's Committee entertain no apprehension of the
result of such etimpatisp, and had the proposal been made at an,
earlier period, they would have been ready to give it the most se-
rious consideration.
But as Mr. Oeulhorn has now pledged himself in the strongest
nd most public manner to go by the poll on Tuesday, Mr.
Eankes's Committee milli feel that, from a pledge so given, it is
impossible for Mr. Goulburd under any circumstances to recede.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient faithful servant,
JOHN PERCEVAL, Chair Man of the Committee.
To the Chairman of Mr. Bankessi Committee.

TO THZ RIGHT HON. HENRY GOITI,RURN. ' •
Khig's_CoiZege, June!).
answer to your letter of the Bth inst., to, the
Members of the Senate of the University of Cambridge, I K.:5 °a"
to state that the reason why many have insisted on your duty. to
retire from the contest is, the eons ideratien that the votes of those
who supported the candidates who professedly °tiered themselves on
anti-Catholic principleS instead of being concentrated against the
adverse candidate, would be divided between the three on that side
of the question, by which Means the Oppt;sition would be less formi-
dable. The weakest candidate, therefore, if he were sincere for
the success of those principles, was bound to retire. You meet-
thatreaeon by n..gativing the correctness of its application to your
case. Report gives to Mr. liatikee only, 500 votes, more or lets. You
:fate having received distinct promises of support from nsarly •
;500 members, and encouraging assurances from many others,
You conic, therefore, to the poll too perictdo., If you do not
prove your statement by the event, 'all assertions on your part at
a forme election will be received with that credit generally
given to all election promisee and protestations; and the fair
inference will be, that the converse of the proposition stated in
your addreea was the truth, and that you were willing to sacri-
fice the success of the principles which you have uniformly Main-
tained (namely, the negation of political power to the Popies),
in order to ensure your own personal interest or distinction. It
is now incumbent on you to prove the sincerity of your statement
by the state of the poll, .or to retire:" I will make no hasty judg-
ment, and recommending the same line of conduct to you, I re-
main, Sir, your obedient 'servant,
To Henry Goulburo, kc.
