TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SENATE.

" On the probable Vacancy in the Representation of the
University, we, the undersigned, beg leave to submit to
the Members of the Senate the following considerations in
favour of Mr. CAVENDISH :

" It can rarely happen that we should have an opportu-
nity of returning a Member so qualified in every way for
the Representation of the University. He has adorned
an hereditary connexion with science by his own eminent
talents and attainments. During the whole of his resi-
dence among'us, his conduct was according to the true
spirit of our institutions. His situation and his disposi-
tion are such, that we feel confident that the fulfilling the
duties of such a station, and promoting the welfare of
science and literature, will form the main object of his
life, and that he will become closely identified with the
interests and feelings of the University.
" We therefore beg leave to inform the Members of the
Senate, that on these grounds we intend to put Mr. Ca-
vendish in nomination on the day of Election, in the ear-
nest hope that the opinions we have now stated may be
then honoured by their approbation and support.

In consequence of this Notice, Mr. Cavendish issued
the following Circular :

Cambridge, June 3, 1829.

SlR—Finding that a considerable portion of the Mem-
bers of the Senate have determined to do me the high
honour of nominating me at the approaching Election for
the University, I feel that it is impossible for me to de-
cline so flattering a mark of their approbation.
If the support of the Menters of the Senate should
place me iu the honourable situation of your representa-
tive in Parliament, no exertions on my part shall ever be
wanting to prove that I am mindful of the important
trust reposed in me, and of the duties which attach to so
distinguished a station : and you may he assured that the
main object of my life shall be to support the rights and
promote the interests of the University, with which ray
feelings have been long identified.

On these grounds Iventure respectfully to solicit your
support on the day of Election.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your faithful and obedient Servant,
W. CAVENDISH.
