.being at the close of the poll—
For Sir Robert H. Inglis

. 75S

For the Right Hoch Iftibert Peel . . 609

Majority for Sir H. H. Inglis . Its
On Friday evening it wa. known that Mr. Peel's re-
election was impracticable, several members of his
Committee having polled, while it was known that those
of Sir Robert Inglis were still in reierve, as well as a
number of out-voters who stood pledged to attend on
Saturday. _ _ _

It was mutually agreed that the poll on Saturday
should close at two o'clock, and the Vice-Chancellor
gave the usual intimation to that effect.
During Saturday the polli ,g was from the begin-
ning in favour of Sir Robert Inglis, and several of the
heads of Colleges, some of them very infirm men, voted
for him early in the day, and several chaise, arrived
from remote puts of the kingdom, with the country
Clergy. The Orangement of the north of Ireland sent
over loom Armagh two of their body, and a Gentlemtin
came from Paris on the interest of Sir Robert Inglis.
There was throughout the day a constant cheering as the valets
came up In the interest of Sir Robert, and the tumultuous joy
which prevailed eesenshkd the rude uproar of Covent Garden ia
the beat of a popular contest.
Three times was the announcement given by order of the Vice-
Chancellor, that the poll would close at two o'clock, and the Dee-
tors, Matters, and Scholars were respectively invited to poll on
this occasion. When the clock struck two, the Vice-Chancellor
made his last call, and the poll was immediately closed.
The Register then handed the numbers to the Vice-Chancellor,
who declared that on the day's poll the numbers stood thus—For
Sir R. H. Inglis, 79; toe Unreel, S 9 ; and that the gross pull was,
fur Sir R. H. Ingle, 755 ; foe Mr. Peel, 809 ; leaving a majority
in favour of the former of 146. The Vice-Chancellor then an-
nounced in the Latin language that Sir Robert Harry Inglis was
duly doted one of the burgeon to represent this moat learned
University in the Commons Home of Parliament.
The loudest cheering followed this announcement, and coarse
cries were beard of " Down with Peel." This uproar at length
assumed a fnres of regular action, and three cheers were succes-
sively given for the Vito-Cbancellor and Lord Elden. Three loud
cheers then followed for the return of Sir Robert Inglis, and they
were accompanied by a clapping of hands.
An attempt was likewise ineffectually made to cheer Mr. Peel,
but the cries of " Three cheers for Sir Robert Inglis" ready pre-
ponderated. In the midst of this unseemly uproar, the Vice Chan-
cellor dissolved the Convocation, and as the Members of the Uni-
versity quitted the bad, they.prolenged their shouts of triumph.

CORN-EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, kfAacu 2.
We have again had an immense arrival of Foreign Wheat, chiefly
Spanish, which caused our market to be exceedingly duU this
morning. The factors demanded last Monday's prices for hoe
samples of every kind of Wheat, Spanish excepted, not on account
of the quality being inferior, bet owing to the want of granaries to
held it, and the positive orders from the owners, who are satisfied
with the present prices ; this kind of Wheat, the:store, was from
is. to its. per quarter lower than on last Monday. Making Barley
sold for 34a. per quarter. bet aU other sorts were unsaleable. Beans
and Peaawere very dull mle. Oats fully supported last Monday's
voodoos. In other ankles then is no skssitioi.
