VISIT OF HER MAJESTY AND PRINCE ALBERT
TO THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.

Since George IV. visited Oxford, there has not been
such excitement in an University town as there is likely
to be in Cambridge on the oc •asion of her Majesty's in-
tended visit to that far. famed seat of learning. The follow-
ing official announcement has b en just Issued by the Vice
Chancellor of the University :

Trinity College Lodge, Oct. 17

" The Vice-Chancellor has the high gratific'ation of an-
nouncing to the members of the University, that it is the
intention of her most gracious Majesty the Queen, and
his Royal Highness Prince Albert, to honour the Univer-
sity with a visit on Wednesday, the 25th instant.
"The Vice-Chancellor is persuaded that there will be
in all the members of the University a wish to testify their
deep gratitude for this act of royal favonr and condescen-
sion, their dutiful and devoted affection towards her Ma-
jesty, and their zealous desire that the royal visiters may
derive unmingled satisfaction from their visit."

On Wednesday last the Rev. Mr. Whewell, 8.D.,
Master of Trinity and Vice-Chancellor, the Rev. Dr.
French, Master of Jesus, and the hey. Mr. Birkett, BD.
of Emmanuel, were appointed a syndicate," to make such
arrangements as may appear to them proper for the re-
ception of ber Majesty the Queen and his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert in the Senate-house." The royal vi-
sitors are expected on Wednesday, the 25th, on which
occasion his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, Chan-
cellor of the University, the Lord High Chancellor, Lord
High Steward, the Vice-Chancellor, the Heads of Houses,
and an immense number of Masters of Arts in residence,
will receive them in a ate, a-id conduct them to the lodge
of Trinity College, wl ich ,a now being prepared for their
reception. An inclined woodt n platform, covered with
cloth, will be placed over the steps immediately at the en-
trance of the front [ate at Trinity, whence the paved way
up to the door of the lodge will be similarly covered for
her Majesty's accommodation. The lodge is by the char-
ter of Henry VIII, who originally endowed this college,
the residence of the sovereign on the occasion of any
royal visit, and is always made use of, according to a pro-
vision in the charter, by her Majesty's going judges of
assize. When Queen Elizabeth, however, visited Cam-
bridge she stopped at King's College. O❑ Thursday the
Senate-house will present a very splendid and interesting
appearance. The front seats iu the galleries will be occu-
pied by ladies, and platforms for the fair portion of this
especial and brilliant congregation will also be erected in
front of the gallery, opposite to the throne, and beneath,
in the body of the building. On this occasion his Grace
the Chancellor will confer the honorary degree of Doctor
of Laws on his Royal Highness Prince Albert. In the
evening the Vice-Chancellor will entertain the royal party
in state, and all the colleges, as well as the town, will be
lit up in the evening. In the grounds of St. John's Col-
lege, as well as in the adjacent ones of Trinity, rival dis-
plays of fireworks will take place, and bands of music will
play in all directions. The preparations for illuminating
Trinity have already commenced. During the course of
Thursday her Majesty will visit the new and beautiful
structure of the Fitzwilliam Museum, King's Chapel,
Trinity Chapel, and a few of the colleges and public
buildings. The royal visiters will make but a short stay
at Cambridge, and will leave on Friday, the 27th instant,
and, as report states, at present, for Wimpole, the seat of
the Earl of Hardwicke, Lord-Lieutenant of the county.

Mrs. J. Glover, of Frederick-street, Birmingham, has
presented £BOO to the British and Foreign Bible Society.

NEW CHURCHES AT WOOLWICH.—Two new churches
are about to be erected in the extensive and populous town
of Woolwich.

The Rev. Charles Seager, of Worcester college, Oxford,
and private tutor of Dr. Pusey, has joined the Church of
Rome.

MALTA.—The church erected by the munificence of
Queen Adelaide is now nearly completed and will be con-
secrated by the Bishop of Gibraltar on Christmas-day
next.

The Rev. Mr. Newman has given his friends (and it is
believed his Diocesan) to understand that he has relin-
quished all connection with periodical controversial litera-
ture.—Globe.

BISHOP SPENCER.—It is reported, on the authority of
private letters, that the Right Rev. Dr. Spencer, Bishop
of Newfoundland, has been appointed to the Jamaica see,
vacantiby the demise of Bishop Lipscombe.

MR. SIBTRORP AND MAGDALEN COLLEGE.—We hear
that the Rev. Waldo Sibtliorp has addressed a letter to
the President of the Magdalen College, intimating his re-
turn to the English establishment, and soliciting re-elec•
tion to his fellowship.—Oxford Chronicle.
LIsBON.—The English Church being at a great dis-
tance from the trading port of the city, it is proposed,
under the sanction of the Bishop of Gibraltar, who has
promised to assist the undertaking by a liberal donation
to erect a new chapel in an eligible situation nearer
to the port.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A CLERGYMAN.—
A paragraph is going round :the papers announceing the
sudden disappearance of the Rev. Mr. Barrett, of Bir-
mingham. The fact appears simply to be this, that the
rev. gentleman is in pecuniary difficulties, arising from
his becoming surety for a party, and this is the reason of
his temporary absence from his parish.

THE C lIESTER DIOCF,S AN SCHOOL FOR FEM. ALES .-
The institution at Chester for educating the daughters of
clergymen officiating in the diocese, and for training up
other young females as governesses, is to be opened early
in January. The Bishop of Chester has accepted the
office of patron, and has interested himself in its establish-
ment. The school will be under the direction of a clergy-
man and chief governess, who will be elected in November.
FRAMPTON C uncH.—ln the will of Anne Wicks, late
of Cheltenham, spinster, the following legacies occur, after
desiring to be buried in the chancel of Frampton church
—£soo for a monument to be erected to her memory ' •
£l,OOO for communion plate for Frampton Church ; £5O
for a cloth for the communion table ; £5OO to improve it
(Frampton Church); £5OO to rail in the church-yard ;
£330 to the vicar of Frampton for preaching her funeral
sermon.

REV. THOMAS DALL.-Sir Robert Peel has presented
the vacant canonry at St. Paul's to the Rev. Thomas Dale,
Vicar of St. Bride's. The intimation was conveyed to
Mr. Dale in a very handsome letter from the Premier
himself, in which Mr. Dale's laborious and exemplary dis-
charge of his duties, as vicar of that large parish during
the last eight years, was declared to be the sole ground of
this promotion. The canonry gave to Mr. Tate, who
lately held it, an annual income of £2300. Under the
church reform bills its revenue is reduced to £lOOO a year.
We beg to remind our readers that the fifth of Novem-
ber is just at hand, and that it falls this year on Sunday.
All the members of our church, therefore, will have a full

opportunity and a sacred privileg
appointed for that ever-mernort:
the Sabbath. There is no servi,
