ness yesterday at the Colonial Office, Downing street.

The Marquis of ANGLESEA entertained the
Duke of NORFOLK anti a distinguished party to dinner
yesterday at his house in Old Buriington•street.

As it is probable the Debate in the House of
Lords may occupy two nights, the Disfranchisement Bill
will not be taken into consideration till Monday next.
Notwithstanding Lord ELDON'S long interview with his
MAJESTY on Saturday, the KING continues firm in his
opinion of the absolute necessity of the Catholic Relief Bill
being passed.

CAMBRIDGE MEETING.--An anti• Catholic
Meeting, consisting for the most part of Snobs (as the
operatives are designated at the University), was held here
on Tuesday last, at which it was agreed on that a petition
against concession should be presented to his MAJESTY by
the Duke of CUMBERLAND. There were very few people
at the meeting.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—The Ora-
torio lust night at this theatre, part of which consisted
of a selection from HANDEL'S Alexander's Feast, was
fully and fashionably attended.

His MAJESTY, through the medium of the
Marquis of CONY NC II AM, has been graciously pleased to
allow his box at Covent-garden to be used for the benefit
of the DIBDIN Committee, expressing at the same time
his satisfaction in being able to do any thing that may for-
ward the success of the undertaking. The Duke of
CL AREN CE and Prince LEOPOLD, and the Dukes of DE-
VONSHIRE and BEDFORD, have also
-kindly offered the use
of their boxes for the same purpose. Among the novelties
of the night (Tuesday next) n ill be Madame VESTRIS,
with a wooden leg, as the representative of one of the cha-
racters in the Padlock. She is at present busy practising
t his ornamental appendage.

The Lord Lieutenant honoured the Lord
Mayor with his company to dinner on Saturday. Mr.
MONTGOMERY, hoowever, was compelled to keep his offen-
sive politics out of view. Before the Duke of NORTHUIf•
BERLAND agreed to honour the Mansion-house with his
presence, he required, and of course obtained an assurance,
that no political toasts should be given. The guests, it is
stated, were under fifty in number. The dinner took place
in the oak parlour.—Dalin Freeman's Journal.

CAMBRIDGE, MARCH 27.—1 t is so very
palpable that the Tories are totally and disastrously beaten
in their grand attempt to bully the Government by goad-
ing the people to insurrection, that their subordinate ma-
noeuvres are scarce worthy of notice. Yet I am tempted
to mention another discomfiture they have ju-t received in
this University. The correctness of Lord LA NS DOWNE'S as-
sertion that " There were 250 Undergraduates in Trinity,
ready to sign a Catholic Petition," having been doubted,
the Anti-Catholic Undergraduates were immediately polled ;
and the result is, that out of 370 resident Undergraduates
of Trinity, only 103 Anti-Catholics are to be found. I
wish not to speak invidiously ; but they who are acquainted
with the preponderance of Aristocracy possessed by
Trinity College will know how to appreciate this fact, con-
sidered as a criterion of the opinions held by young met,
of the highest rank in the University. In whatever point
of view the votes of Trinity be regarded, they will carry
a very important weight. It is not worth while to disturl
the manes of the defunct anti-Catholic petition, or some-
thing interesting might be told of the various means used
for the birth, preservation, and growth of this precious
bantling ; but as it was not signed by a majority of Under-
graduates or resident Bachelors, it may safely be spared
the compliment of examination.
