MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
On the whole, our Market was heavily supplied with sam-
ples of English Wheat. All descriptions, as on Monday, sold
slowly at that day's depressed currencies. In Foreign Wheat
so little was doing, that the rates may be considered almost
nominal. In Barley and Malt next to nothing was doing,
at late rates. Oats, owing to the immense supplies
brought forward, were selling on easier terms. Beans,
Peas, and Flour, without alteration.

THE WINDSOR MILITARY STEEPLE-CHASES•
WINDSOR, TUESDAY.—The Earl of Rosslyn, the noble
Master of the Buckhounds, has kindly altered the day 9
of hunting during the present week, in order that they
may not interfere with the steeple-chases, the appoint-
ments being on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday ; the
chases taking place on Wednesday and Thursday. The
military chase closed with eight entries. Last night the
5/. sweepstakes, with 301. added, closed with eight
entries ; all the horses have arrived in the neighbour-
hood, and will no doubt go to the post.
The Hack Race (being the third race of the first day)
of 2 sovs. each, with 10 added, also closed on Monday
night with thirteen entries.
The ground, which is in excellent order, is admirably
chosen in the neighbourhood of Oakley-green, about two
miles from Windsor, the starting post being on Mr.Weo"
der's farm. There are no less than twenty-eight leaps'
including a brook of about thirteen feet wide, which 19
of a far less dangerous character than the brook of the
two preceding years ; neither are any of the feneesZof so
desperate a character as those of last year, most of theta
being clipped down to a certain height.
The town and neighbourhood is fast filling with sport-
ing characters, and if the weather continues fine, there
is no doubt but we shall be unusually gay. The promises
of entry for the gentlemen's match, which comes off 00
the second day (Thursday) are already numerous. The
nobility and gentry's ball takes place on the evening of
the second day's chases.

HER MAJESTY'S BUCKHOUNDS.—Up wards of one hun-
dred were at the meet on Monday, which took place et
the Golden Ball, Bracknell, where an untried deer was
uncarted shortly before twelve o'clock. The deer took
away towards Binfield Church, skirting the paling of
Billingbear Park to Shurlock-street, and thence to
Shottesbrook, on nearly to the Great Western Railway,
where it,doubled back to White Waltham, and was taken
on the common near the Bray-cutting, after a very pretty
run of an hour and ten minutes, at a good hunting pane
thrcughout.

THE COLLEGE OF MAYNOOTIL
Sir Robert Pee], on Monday night, entered on the
books of the House of Commons a notice of his intention
to-morrow (Thursday) " to move, in a Committee of the
whole House, for a Bill to amend the Acts relating to
the College of Maynooth." Such is the form in which
the Prime Minister has couched an intimation, the bare
rumour of which has excited no slight amount of dissa-
tisfaction and complaint. At the present moment,
therefore, a brief review of the past history of this col-
lege may not be uninteresting. It is situated in the
county of Kildare, which also contains another of the
principal Roman Catholic educational establishments 10
Ireland, namely, that at Clongoweswood. The Royal
College of St. Patrick, Maynooth, was founded pursuant
to an Act passed by the Irish Parliament in 1795. Toe
object of the institution is professed to be to provide "
home education" for the Irish priesthood of the Roman
Catholic Church, who were formerly obliged to resort to
the various colleges on the Continent. IV was first
opened for the reception of 50 students, in October,
1795, and consequently, in the autumn of the present
year, will complete its first half century. A lay college
was attached soon after the commencement of the estab-
lishment, but that addition to the original plan was dr;44l
continued in 1817. The buildings of the College in its rife"
sent state are fitted for the accommodation of 450 stu,:tente.
Of this number 250 are free students, who are s.,elected
by the bishops of the several dioceses, at yearly provincial
examinations. They pay eight guineas upon their en•
trance into the College, and that is their only expense.
The rest of the students in the establishment are either
"pensioners," who pay twenty-one guineas per annum
and four guineas entrance, or " half-pensioners," wbl
pay only half that amount a year. The expenses of file
College are supported by these various sources of re-
venue and by private bequests, in addition to tl,,e pre-
sent Parliamentary vote of 8,9282, granted ese.th year.
The College is governed by a President, Vice-President,
Dean, and Procurator, or Bursar ; and the education of
the students is under the superintendence of professors
a the Sacred Scriptures, of dogmatic theology, moral
theology, natural and experimental philosophy, logic,
belles lettres, Hebiew, Greek, and Latin, English elo-
cution, and of the Irish and French languages. The
students rise at half-past five o'clock, and retire to rest
at half-past nine in the evening, eight hours being thus
allowed for repose. The students usually remain at the
College for their period of study for five years. Two of
these are devoted to humanity, logic, and mathematics,
and three to theology. The course, however, is some'
times shortened by the omission of mathematics from the
list of the studies. The College buildings consist of
a
plain centre, with extensive returning wings. The cost ofits erection was 32,0001., before some late additions
had been even commenced. There are fifty-four acres of
land attached, which are laid out as a park for the re-
creation of the students.—Post.

MAYNOOTH.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—What a fuss is making about a little inmase to
the grant to Maynooth College. This point is now made
the grand objection. These persons have only to wait
until Thursday next, when it will become an insignificant
question. Why ? Because other questions will be in-
troduced of much higher importance, which will stagger
these objectors. They will beat the Whigs' " appropri-
ation clause" hollow. Lord Stanley's significant speech
at the late dinner at the Mansion-house disclosed a con-
templation of an early resignation of the present Minis-
try: —" Whenever they retired, however soon, they should
do so, feeling that they had done their duty," &c. &c.
After Thursday next the subject of an increased grant
to Maynooth will be the most insignificant point of ob-
jection.— I am, Sir, yours,
Ilfracombe, March 27, 1845.
