CITY MARKETS.—(TWO O'CLOCK.)
PTANTATION SUGARS.-There is evidently a great hea-
viness in this market, and the business that has been done
since the opening of it yesterday (it being kept closed on
Tuesday, on account of the Whitsun holidays), has been
very limited, and although no decided alteration in the
quotations can be made, the disposition to effect sales is
very apparent, and purchases could be made on rather
easier terms, particularly for the good qualities; the parcel
of Barbadoes offered yesterday was with difficulty disposed
of, and prices again were rather lower : 1,693 hags Mau-
ritius were offered by public sale to-day of the low to good
brown qualities, but there were scarcely any buyers, and
nearly the whole parcel was bought in at about last week:a
prices.
_ _ _

In Rum and other descriptions of Colonial produce there
is no alteration.

The Company's Tea Sale is still going on, but will ter-
minate to-morrow ; licensed goods are now on sale.
INinco.—The Indigo market is rather heavy; the sale
of 36%5 chests of East India went off from 4d. to 6d. under
the prices of last Company's sale.

Hon.—There are accounts from the plantations in Kent
and Sussex this morning. The blight continues, but as
the bines are growing hopes of recovery are indulged. In
speculations on the probable amount of duty there is no
activity, many of the principal betters having lost large
sums during the last two years. In the trade too, money
is very scarce, and this tends to keep the prices much
more steady than would otherwise be the case.

FOREIGN SUGARS.—A parcel of yellow and white
Havannahs has been sold this week at steady prices, but in
other sorts there is very little doing.
REFINED SUGARS —This market has been very dull
this week, and some parcels of large and small lumps were
on Tuesday sold on rather easier terms, but other parcels
have since been sold at the same price as last week; in the
good and fine Grocery descriptions there is less doing, but
prices remain without any material alteration; in crashed
there is scarcely any thing doing.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ELECTION.

To the EDITOR of the CAMBRIDGE CHRONICLE.

Sia,—Before your Journal of next week makes its ap-
pearance•, a new Member of the University will hare been
elected. In a struggle I:ke the present, private interests
and party feelings \yin mingle themselves, whatever may
be the claims or the professions of the candidates. The
University ought, however, to be elevated above vulgar
motives, and it may be asserted with the confidence of
truth that she now stands on this elevation.

The grounds on which Mr. Cavendish was brought for-
ward are before the public, and are now understood by all
who are willing to understand them. He was not put
forward by his resident supporters as a man of any party.
The organs of our political factions may proclaim the
contrary; but what they ignorantly assert, the 3lem-
berg of the Senate indignantly deny. They support
Mr. Cavendish because he conformed himself in the
strictest sense to their academic rule during the years
he lived among them : because he has proved himself
a man of pure principlts: because he has gained distinc-
tions in literature, and the highest honours'of the Uni-
versity in those severer sciences in which success is only
the reward of continued application and of great talents.
I make no invidious comparisons, but I may affirm what

is true—that no man graced with an honorary degree
could have advanced claims equal to these slim: the Uni-
versity fixed upon its present studies as a discipline and a
preparation for the duties of public life, and of.',red public
honours as a reward to the ambition of her sons.

I know that men act on mixed motives, and I have no
right to set myself up as a judge of others; but I am cer-
tain that there is no man who has carried off our public
honours, or felt for the reputation of the University, who
will not acknowledge the claims I have stated to be of an
exalted character. A very great majority of th:: resident
!limbers of the Senate have already acknowledged these
claims, and men of the most opposite sentiments and
maxims, and opinions, have united to support them. I
have no light to recount names, but I assert what I know
to he true.

Mr. CAVENDISH has pledged himself to support our
ecclesiastical institutions. It is no time-serving or political
Pledge. It has been given with his whole heart both in
public and in private; and if he could not have given it he
would never have offered himself as our candidate. lam
ashamed of urging more ordinary motives, but our caudi-
, &Ito also knows that it is his highest interest to support
our venerable institutions. They are woven into the very
tissue of the Aristocratic part of our Constitution ; and one
part cannot he touched withcut endangering the other. But
Mr. C. is very young; we cannot deny it ; it is an evil which
will find its own remedy; and amid the grand apostasy of
hoary politicians, we turn to him as a verdant spot in a
dry and barren land. 'We have watched his progress ; he
has honoured us in the spring-time of life ; and we already
anticipate from that exercise of his great talents and high
principles in maturer life, a rich harvest, which will be
for cur honour and for the advantage of his country.
These opinions I request you will circulate among the
members of the Senate through the medium of your Journal.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your faithful servant,
A MEMBER OF THE SENATE.
