THE LATE -DUKE or. CRAPTON.

The death of the Duke of Gaavrox will occasion
two contested elections in the University of Cambridge.
one for the high office of Chancellor; the other for the
vacancy in the representation, occasioned by Lord
Eusrox's succeeding to his father's title. His High-
ness the Duke of Gr.ovcsvraa, and the Duke of RUT-
LAND, have already declared themselves candidates
for the Chancellorship. The contest is expected to
be severe. Each party will be left to his individual
influence and merits, as Ministers decline taking any
side, out of gratitude for the support which they re-
ceive from one of the candidate, and from the re- •
spect which is doe to the pretensions of a branch r.f.
the Royal family. The vacancy in the representation
will be as warmly contested. Lord PALMERSTON has
already commenced a very active canvass. He will
be opposed by Mr. SMYTH, grandson of the late Duke
yof tRAFTON, who once filled the office of Under Se-
cretary of State to Lord LIVERPOOL.

A notice appears in the Gazette of Saturday, re.
specting the funding of twelve millions of Exchequer
Bills. The office is to continue open for that purpose
every day, Sunday excepted, from Thursday the 21st,
to Wednesday the 27th inst. By this. arrangement,
the disgraceful scene whick took place on the former
occasion will be avoided, and there will be.no room
for partiality.
Earl GREY, who has been expected in Town some
days, is detained in Northumberland, by a 'serious
accident that happened to Lady ---, GREY, his dee t
daughter, who had a fall from her horse last weLk, by
, which she has ever since been confined to her bed.
Four beautiful Spanish horses were landed at Ports.
mouth on Wednesday, from Gibraltar; a present from
General CAMPBELL CO his Royal Highness the Duke
of YORK.

ARTHUR Youac, Esq. has undergone the operation
of couching within these few days, with every proba-
bility of complete success.
Mr. MACNAMARA, of Varel, an opulent merchant,
has been arrested and sent under escort to Amsterdam.
Tuesday se'nnight, a pilot boat was upset near the
Rock Heads, Tynemouth Bar, and three people
I drowned. Robert Pratt, of Berwick, mariner, was
one of the sufferers.
At the York Assizes, J. and W. Colley, aged 18 and
20, for horse-stealing ; and J. Whitelsta:t, for cutting
the throat of Ann Ockleton, of Aldhorough, with in-
tent to murder her, were found guilty, and received
sentence of death.
A cause of no small consequence to Corporations,
has been lately laid before the LORD CHANCELLOR,
(who has ordered an issue to be tried at Chelmsford
the ensuing Summer Assizes), upon the question-
Whether a part of the Corporate Body of Colchester
can alienate the property of the free Burgesses at
large, without a Common Hall called fir the put-
pose ? The matter in dispute arose from the lands
belonging to the Corporation at Colchester being
Imortgaged to a Gentleman of the Temple for !000,
to pay his bills of costs, in defending various suits ori-
ginating from the contest of the election for Recorder,
in which the late Mr. Smythies (a candidate) per-
suaded a part of the Corporate Body to employ the
public funds for that purpose.
Puottrres.-In consequence of a dispute at the Fives
Court, on Saturday, between Melineux, the black,
and Power, a professor, they retired to St. Martin's-
street, adjoining, there to settle it. A battle ensued,
which lasted twenty minutes, when finding, from the
immense concourse of people who repaired thither, that
to keep a ring was impossible, the seconds interfered,
and we understand a purse is to be made for the com•
batants for a future day. There were twenty-three
rounds, during which Power, who was a great deal
the lightest, experienced several severe falls. The
greater number of rounds were in favour of Power,
who chewed the most science, and provod himself a
bottom man. The heads of both were swelled dread-
fully, and it was seen that it was the superior strength
alone of the Black, that enabled him to face his ad•
versary. Richmond seconded the Black, and an
amateur took the part of Power.
