CAMBRIDGE ELECTION.

TuisnAy Evzsmc, MAY B.—The contest for the
vacancy occasioned in the Representation for this Univer-
sity, by the elevation of Sir John Copley to the Peerage:
will commence to-morrow morning. The Candidates and
their respective Committees have already arrived, and thy,
town is fast filling with t 1;;:! Members of tl:z. Senate, who
are pouring in from all directions.
The retirement of Mr. Goulburn his excited but little
surprise, the general opinion from the first being that he
d:d not stand so good'a chance as either of the oiler Can-
didates.

Both Mr. Bankes and Sir N. Tindal avow the sure
political principles, and it might, therefore, be supposed
that the contest would merely involve a question of per-
sonal preference. If report, however, is to be relied on, a
great deal of acrimony has been displayed by the partisans
on either side, and insinuations thrown out as to the ulte-
rior views of the parties. The connection, for instance, of
Sir N. Tindal with the present Ministry has been adduced
as affording a strong presumption that his opposition to
the Catholic Claims is of no very decided character : while
on the ether side, the circumstances pf the action between
Mr. Buckingham and Mr. Bankes have been revived to the
prejudice of the latter. In other quarters attempts have
been made to identify the Candidates with one or other of
the rival parties, which have grown up out of the late poli-
tical changes. Mr. Bankes being represented as the
champion of the seceding party, and Sir N. Tindal, as the
representative of the present Ministry. How far these
conjectures are correct, and how far they. may influence the
votes of the Members, the result of to-morrow's proceed-
ings will probably show.
Both the Candidates are Members of the same College,
namely that of Trinity.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE ASSOCIATION.

The Association met at the usual hour on Saturday,
HUGH O'CoNNort, Esq. in the Chair. The proceedings,
for which we have not room to-day, were of an extremely
interesting and important character. Mr. Sheil, in a very
eloquent harangue, strongly enforced the propriety of
adopting, in this great political crisis, the advice given to
the Catholics by their friends in Parliament. Mr. O'Con-
nell followed Mr. Sheil. The Learned Gentleman spoke
at much length, and with great energy and eloquence. He
strongly recommended a course of conciliation, and the
adoption of measures that would evince the desire of the
Catholics to unite with the Government in the great work
of pacifying the country. With this view he concluded by
moving the following resolution :—" That, desirous to
evince the anxiety of the Catholics of Ireland to conciliate
their enemies, and to exhibit their confidence in their friends,
and animated with the hope of a reciprocity of favourable
feeling on the part of others, this Association do, at its
rising, adjourn for six weeks." The resolution was ably
seconded by Mr. Wyse. It was in a degree opposed by
Mr. Lawless, but no amendment was proposed. Mr.
O'Gorman enforced its propriety in a very sensible and ex-
cellent speech, and the resolution was then unanimously
carried.—Dublin Morning Register.
