logicas tractaverit, ut in hac parte nullam ejus fiduciam habeat Universitas;

Statutum est, quod munerum prædictorum expers sit S. Theologiæ Professor Regius, donec aliter Universitati placuerit. Ne vero quid detrimenti capiat interea Universitas, Professoris ejusdem vicibus fungantur alii; scilicet, in Concionatoribus selectis designandis Senior inter Vice-Cancellarii Deputatos, vel eo absente, aut ipsius Vice-Cancellarii locum tenente, proximus ex ordine Deputatus (proviso semper, quod sacros ordines susceperit), et in consilio de Concionibus habendo Prælector Domina Margareta Comitissa Richmondiæ.

After the promulgation of the Statute, several Members of the University addressed the Vice-Chancellor: of these, the opponents of the Statute were Dr. Twisleton, of New College, the Warden of Merton, (Dr. Marsham, Mr. Way, of Glympton, (of Christ Church,) Mr. Philip Duncan, of New College, and Mr. Rowlandson, lately a Michel Fellow of Queen's. The supporters of the Statute were Mr. Miller, of Worcester, (the Bampton Lecturer of 1817,) and Mr. Keble, of Oriel, the present Professor of Poetry. At the conclusion of these speeches, the votes were taken, and by a new arrangement, which was on Thursday tried for the first time, and with complete success. The Masters of Arts ascended the steps of the great circle, and, passing the Proctors' chairs, gave their votes to one or the other of those officers, and instead of returning, and by so doing causing much impediment and confusion, proceeded onwards to a door immediately behind the Vice-Chancellor's chair, and thus were let out into the lobbies, and so returned into the body of the Theatre, or went away, at pleasure.

At about half-past four o'clock the scrutiny terminated, and the Senior Proctor made the usual announcement, "majori Parti placet." The numbers, which were not publicly declared, being

May 20.

The Syndicate lately appointed to consider and report upon the expediency of purchasing the museum and anatomical preparations of Dr. Macartney, the professor of anatomy in Trinity college, Dublin, have made their report to the senate. This report strongly recommends the purchase; and it is believed that a grace will shortly be introduced to carry the recommendation into effect.

The Syndicate appointed by a grace of the senate on the 11th of May, for the purpose of considering whether the design chosen for the New Library, &c., be in eonformity with the instructions given to the architects, have made the following report to the senate :

They have examined Mr. Cockerell's design with reference to the instructions given to the architects, with regard to the nature, extent, and arrangement of the accommodation required, and they are of opinion that it is in conformity with those instructions.

With respect to the probable cost of the buildings to be erected in the first instance, they have made inquiries of Mr. Cockerell, who is of opinion that the portion of the design which is marked in his drawings (see Portfolio, No. 5.) as purposed for immediate execution, and which comprehends all the accommodation immediately required by the instructions, may be built and prepared for the reception of its fittings, for a sum not exceeding 25,000l. Mr. Cockerell, however, declines pledging himself to this precise sum, as the amount of the expenditure may be materially affected by the

nature of the stone and other materials employed.

A meeting of the Philosophical Society was held on Monday evening, Dr. Thackeray, V. P., in the chair. A letter from A. De Morgan, Esq., to the Rev. George Peacock, was read, containing a sketch of a method of introducing discontinuous constants into the arithmetical

expressions for infinite series. Also a memoir by P. Kelland, Esq., of Queen's college, on the mathematical results of a mixture of elastic fluids (as air and vapour in the atmosphere), and on the theory of heat. With regard to the latter subject, the object was to shew that there is a translation backwards or forwards of the calorific particles, consequent on and varying in intensity with the transverse vibration. Mr. Hopkins made some statements respecting experiments recently made on the temperature of mines and the doctrine of central heat. Mr. Airy gave an account of observations of temperature made during the great solar eclipse of May 15th.

EVENTS OF THE MONTH.

The "Events" are collected from the public papers, except where private correspondents are so good as to send more authentic accounts, which are always marked "From a Correspondent."

[blocks in formation]

On Monday, May 9th, the first stone of Upton Church was laid by his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, with the customary ceremony, in the presence of a numerous concourse of respectable persons.-Berks Chronicle.

In a late number of the Reading Mercury, a violently radical paper, there appears an account of a meeting held at Reading, for the purpose of establishing a county hospital, and to that account is appended a list of subscribers. They are in number 156, of which number are 22 clergymen, including two curates. One hundred and thirty-four laymen put down their names for sums amounting to 3,472l., which is somewhere more than 251. each. The 22 clergymen, including the two curates, have subscribed 1,2281., which is 551. each. So that, upon the face of the account, the laymen, liberal as they are, fall short of the clergy, as far as 53 exceeds 25. We have purposely left out of the calculation one subscriber of 1,000l., as far exceeding an average suin of contribution.

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE.

The Duke of Newcastle visited Eton College on Sunday week, and honoured the head-master with his company to dinner. On Monday the head and lower

masters presented an address to his Grace, signed by all the masters, expres sive of their deep sense of obligation for his splendid munificence towards the school. He was pleased to acknowledge the address in very handsome terms. In the afternoon the scholars saluted him with several rounds of hearty cheers as his carriage drove off. Hopes are entertained, and we trust on a good foundation, that his Grace will visit the college at the next election. He is the founder of three scholarships at Eton, tenable for three years each, of 50l. per annum, for the best scholar, and a gold medal for the second best; 501. is also provided as a remuneration to the examiners for the scholarships. In the present age of so-called utilitarian economy, such pious and princely liberality bespeaks true nobility and real elevation of mind, no less than a patriotic desire to promote the best interests of the country, by the encouragement of sound and religious learning.Buckinghamshire Herald.

DEVONSHIRE.

We are authorized to state, that the Lord Bishop of Exeter intends to hold s visitation throughout his diocese, and to confirm at such places where confirmation has not been recently held, in the months of August and September next.-Exeter Luminary.

The venerable the Archdeacon of Exeter, John Moore Stevens, held his visitation in the church of St. Mary Major, Exeter, on Tuesday, May 10th, which was numerously attended. The Rev. John Fisher Turner, rector of St. Mary Major, read the services, and the Rev. Charles Harward, vicar of St. Thomas's, preached. The archdeacon delivered the charge, calling the attention of the clergy to the remarkable circumstances of the present times. He contended for the religion as
