UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. THE following is a Summary of the Members of the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford, as stated in the Calendars of 1819 and 1820. FROM the following table it will be perceived, that of late years, Trinity and St. John's have had more Wranglers than all the other colleges together; and that, during the last ten years, they have had exactly the moiety of the Senior Optimes. Next to the two great colleges, are to be reckoned Caius and Queen's: the former of which has had seventy-four Wranglers, and the latter sixty-eight. No other college can boast threescore Wranglers; but Pembroke and Christ's have had fifty-nine euch. The wooden spoons have been much more equally divided ;-of the seventy-three that have been distributed, Trinity has had but twelve; and St. John's, with its equal Caius, gives place therein to Clare Hall, which can show nine of these honourable badges. Sidney College has never had one; while Trinity Hall, among three Wranglers, one Senior, and two Junior Optimes, ranks one wooden spoon, thereby rendering itself equal (in this latter respect) to venerable Queen's.
