The poll was yesterday interrupted by a most strange objection
snack to the vote of the Commutes of the RICNIQUIR. The Right
Hun. Gentlemen having tendered his vote for Mr Banns, Master
Irate. of Corpus Christi College, who acted as Semester oil the part
of Mr. Camomile, objected to the admissibility of the vote on the
grasped that, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, he was engaged in the
collection of the t . sod was therefore disqualified fron► voting at
' the election of a Member to s►rve in Parliament. 'the CII4IIICILLOR
attic Excuseuse, as well as every other person who heard an oh
jection of this sort started now for the first time, was not a little
astonished at it. In vain he assured the Learned Scrutator that be did
not came within the operation of the disqualifying Statute. blaster
Lama still insisted that under the 7th %%racism sod Maim, which
declared that no person engaged in the collection of tues.should b,.
admitted to vote at the election of Members of Parliament, the
Cat scer.cot of the Excitement was utterly disqualified from voting.
Professor Mosoicses also argued in support of the objection. The
Custocmaos of the Eacosaulta assured them that it was perfectly
thread on their pan to throw any difficulty in the way of his vote
on each grounds, and reminded them that the same Statute which
disqUalitled Revenue and Excise Officers from voting at elections,
also declared them Ineligible to sit in Parliament, so that if be came
within one provl.ion of the Statute, he must be equally under the
operation of the other. Nothing, however, could convince the
Gentlemen with whom the objection originated; they prayed that
time might be afforded to them for looking into the Statute and
consulting the legal authorities on the point. It now became neces-
sary to send for the Statute in question, aod after consuming half
an hour in poring over it and some other books, they declared that
their intormatioo was perfect, and the Cs AAAAA Loa of the Recut-
was, who bad retired during the consultation, again came forward
to bear the infliction of their arguments. As may easily be ima-
gined, be soon disposed of their attempt, and convinced the Vice-
Chancellor of the absurdity of the objection. The Might lion.
Gentleman's voce was then to►en ; the object of the opposing par-
ties, however, was probably to gain delay, and thus far they suc-
ceeded.

Coupled with this extreme anxiety to exclude all Improper votes,
we unarm refrain front noticing an effort made by these same Gen-
tlemen to offer the vote of a minor to the Vice Chancellor. On
the Hon. Mr. MMUS coming up to vote, the Master of Clare Hall,
who attended as Scrucacor for Mr. Hamm, asked if be were not
under twenty-one years of age / Mr. Humus at once admitted that
be was under age ; but Matter Lama insisted that, notwithstanding
that circumstance, be was entitled, u Master of Arts, to vote. It
was gravely argued that the Statute regulating the qualification for
young at decimal; of Members of Parliament for the Univetuty
merely provided that Masters of Arts should be admitted to vote,
without malting any exception on the ground of aen-age. The Vice
Chancellor, or course, rejected the vote.

Although the State of the Poll was not yesterday
altogether so favourable to Mr. BANICTS as could have
been wished, ye: his friends by no means despond—
well knowing, as they do, the circumstances which pro-
duced the result in favour of M►. CA•INDISH. The
numercus engagements to Mr. BANIUS entitle us to
conclude that the poll will be greatly in his favour
this day. Last night many of his friends, whum those no.
toward circumstances invariably attendant on erections,
had detained in the country, came forward; and this
morning a considerable reinforcement of voters has gone
down to Cambridge, all which induces the belief the
the tide will be effectually turned, and produce a most
triumphant result in Mr. ELtmcsis favour.

WEYMOUTH ELECTION.

This morning the adj ,uihed Meeting for the Election
to be proceeded in took place at the Guildhall, in this
borough. Sir E. B.' Sogsle,i accompanied by a large
body a respectable and independei.t freeholder.,
4i teilded the hustings. The Mayor, WILLIAIIII
DEVENISH, Esq. ti,ving taken his seat. and the Court
being openvi, me and said, that (as Mr. Davison, on
the part of Mr. Montagu, had declined the contest) Sir
E. B. Sugden, Knt. was duly elected a burgess, to seism
this borough in Parliamen , which was ptuclairned with
unbounded peal, of applause.
Silence being obtained, Sir E. B SIMMS rose and
returned thank. in the most handsome manner to the
freeholders for the prompt and effectual support he h id
received horn them—a support which had prevented a
contest, and preserved the peace of the Borough, so
essential to the pro.perity of the town of Weymouth ;
and assured them he would endeavour to merit a con •
tinuatice if their kindness by a diligent and honest di.-
charge of his Parliamentary duties, and the most de-

few other observations, the Hon.Meniber concluded by
proposing a' vote of thankslo the worthy Mayor for his
u?riglit and impartial conduct, which passed unani-
mously, amidst universal cheering. The Court was
thee dissolved.

At twelve o'cllck, Sir E. B. Swann was placed in
an elegant car, decorated with purple ribbon entwined,
with laurel, and borne triumphantly through the town,
preceded by the Town Band, with banners and colours
lIL iiig, attended by the Civil Authorities, and a caval-
cade of the Committee and Constituents, followed by
an immense concourse of spectators, the air tesounding
with deafening acclamations as the procession passed ;
the Lscbas saluted the Member on the occasion by
waving their handkerchiefs from the windows, bestow.
ing on him their smiles of joy, which were returned
by him in the most polite and gentlemanly manner.
The Hon. Member descended from his car at Luce's
Hotel, where the freeholders were invited to drink his
Ihealthond were plentifully regaled with wine and other
refreshmei.ts, as were also the populace opposite, on the
'Esplanade, bountifully supplied with strong beer. At
silt o'clock SirE. B. Sugden,accompanied by his worthy
'colleague, Col. Gordon, set off for London ; the latter
Gentleman having also been previously greeted With
the hearty cheers of the freeholders.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ASCOT HEATH RACES.
The second day at this meeting has always been looked upon SO'
the least interesting, nor was there anything in the spurt or attends
once yesterday which can at all distinguish it from former cams'
slons. In fact, every thing was particularly dull, the horses, as se
Tuesday, bring badly matched, and the races indifferently COSH
tested. The only part of the day's business at all important MS
the betting on the Cup, for which we give the odds below. It is'
worthy of remark, that the four-year-olds have generally carried
off this prize ; in the last eighteen years it has been won nine times
by fouriear-olds, four times by three-year-olds, three times by
five-year-olds, and twice by aged horses; the six.year.olds having
been uniformly unsuccessful.
The weather was showery for about an hour before the running,
but cleared up before one o'clock, and continued so, with the ex-
ception of a slight shower towards the close. The Course did not
show much company—the stands were not half full.—and every
thing was flat.
His Majesty arrived at the Royal Stand at a quarter past one,
accompanied, in his carriage, by his Royal Highness the Duke of
Cumberland. his Grace the Duke of Leeds, and another No.
bleman whose name we did not learn. The suite followed in the

same order, and in the same number of carriages as before. His
Majesty remained till after the Plate race. leaving the Heath about
four o'clock. amidst loud cheering. The following were the prin-
cipal fashionable• in attendance : Prince and Princess Rsterhesy,
Prince's Lieven, Duke and Duchess of Richmond, Duke of Rut-
land and the Ladies Mennen, Duke of Portland, Duke of Grafton,

!hike of Doeset, Marquis of Cleveland, Marquis and Marchioness
of Raster, Marquis and Marchioness of Conyughani and Lady M.
Conyneham, Marquis of Worcester, Marquis of Titchfield, Count
Montruird, Lords Verulam, Sefton (and family), Stradbruke, G.
H. Cavendish, C. Somerset, G. Bentinck, H. lientinck, Gros-
venor, Fife, Chesterfield, Mounickarles Strathavou, Ashley, Hob
court, Anson, Southampton, Jersey, Lowther, Clarendon, Scarbw
rough, Harcourt, Sir J. Shelley; Colonels Russell. Udny,
Delnit Radcliffe, Batson, Thornhill, Rush, Grevilie, Payne, fien.
Ladles Harcourt, Scarborough, Ate. &c.
We omitted to mention in our last that the police were under
et management of Sir Richard iiirnie, as.isted by the veteran
I Townsend ; they were indefatigable, and it is gratifying to add
shot their exertions prevented many accidents.
The runnier commenced a little before two, and terminated
about half•paat four, as follows :
The Swinky Sakes of 15 sova each. for three year olds. Tst 41b ;
4 years, list 10lb ; Allies allowed Sibs; last mile and half; to

Betting-5 to ion Bobadilla. To give this the name of a race
would be mockery; for at no part of the running bad it the ap-
pearance of one. 15,badilla tailed them along from the beginning,
and without any diSculty won by ten lengths.

Betting Sto d ors Gleua—rtney. This was decidedly the best race
tint has been run for some time past; indeed the only good one
out of the number contested both days. 'fbe pace wu remarkably
high an through, and it was only in the last stride or two that
Redgontlet gut his bead in front, by which only be won. Gle-
uartney, when called upon, did not answer so freely as be might,
or hr would probably have ended the match differently. The
winner was terribly punished.

4 to I against The Colonel (taken)
7 to I against Green Mantle
10 to 1 against
10 to 1 against Lamplighter
12 to 1 against Cad Lind
20 to 1 against Varna
From the delight evinced by the King when his favourite little
mare Maria won, some idea may be formed of his Majesty's is-
terest in the Cup. Among such a field of horses, collected from
all parts, consisting of the very best in the kingdom, it Is too much
to allow one's feeling to rise ten high for one only ; but if condition,
blended with perfect symmetry, can avail any &big, then The
Colonel meat win. Alh that a miner can do has been done to
render him fit to come to the post, and we are assured his Majesty,
to his excellent judgment, has signified his entire approbation of
the appearance ot the hots.. The anxiety on this race is quite
unprecedented.
