short time, crowded, with the exception of those seats which were reserved for the Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, and their friends. A seat had been prepared for the Princess Sophia of Gloucester, but she was prevented from attending, and her absence occasioned much disappointment. About half past eleven, a deputation, consisting of six Doctors (two in each faculty), six non-regents, and six regents, were sent from the Senate-house to the Chancellor elect at Trinitylodge; whence, preceded by a beadie, and attended by the deputation, he came to the Senate-house. At the steps of the Senate-house he was met by Dr. Douglas, ViceChancellor, who walked up the Senate-house at his Royal Highness's left hand, when they as nded the chair of state; his Royal Highness standing at the left hand of the chair, and the Vice-Chancellor on the right; the band of music immediately, upon his Royal Highness's entering the Senate house, performing the Coronation Anthem. His Royal Highness bowed to the populace as he passed along the streets, and was cheered with the loudest acclamations.The morning, which had been exceedingly gloomy, improved in clearness till this time, and the instant the Chancellor entered the Senate-house; the sun shone forth; and the weather was afterwards most auspicious throughout the whole day.

Previously to his Royal Highness's entering the Senate-house, the Proctors had issued a proclamation, forbidding all expression of approbation or disapprobation in that house." The moment the

Duke entered, however, he was greeted with thunders of applause from the under-graduates, who were immediately joined in chorus by the masters of arts, &c.

The overture being ended, the Vice-Chancellor read a speech in English, and then presented to his Royal Highness the patent of of fice, which was read aloud by the senior Proctor, the Rev. J. Aspland; of Pembroke. He presented also to his Royal Highness the book of statutes. After this, the ViceChancellor, taking his Royal Highness's right hand in his own, the senior Proctor administered the oath of office: his Royal Highness then was seated by the Vice-Chan cellor in the chair of state, and was thereby installed.

The Vice-Chancellor's speech first complimented the Duke on his military distinction, and after wards.on his strenuous exertions on behalf of the abolition of the slave trade, and on his regularity, while an under graduate in the University, besides other general topics. The speech, which was neatly drawn up, was received with great applause.

After a pause, the Public Ora tor, the Rev. R. Tatham, of St. John's, delivered a Latin oration; bis Royal Highness the Chancellor sitting in his chair; the rest of the company sitting uncovered as a mark of respect to his Royal High

ness.

The Orator having finished, his Royal Highness rising from his seat, and taking his cap off, re plied in a very elegant English speech to the Vice-Chancellor and Public Orator, the company standing uncovered during the whole

.. time.

time his Royal Highness was speaking.

The speech was delivered with good emphasis and action, with out notes; and it is no compliment to the Duke to say, that he was the best public orator of the day. His speech was frequently interrupted, and finally followed, by unbounded applause. The Installation Ode, written by Professor Smyth, and composed by Professor Hague, was then performed; in which Mr. Braham and Mrs. Ashe, but particularly the former, acquitted themselves with complete success. The business of the morning concluded by a procession in the usual order to the Lodge of Trinity College.

When the head of the procession arrived at Trinity-lodge, they opened to the right and left, and formed a lane, through which the Chancellor, accompanied by his friends, passed.

His Royal Highness was dressed in a blue silk gown (the Trinity colour), adorned with a profusion of rich gold lace, and was covered, during the whole time of his sitting at the ceremony, by a trencher cap, with a gold tassel.

The Senate-house, the scene of this grand ceremony, had been fitted up with great ingenuity, and the accommodations were quite as convenient as so large an assembly could have expected. The ladies made a most brilliant shew. Among the company we noticed the Bishops of Bristol, Bath and Wells, Norwich, and Cloyne, Lord Lands downe, Hardwicke, Erskine, Carysfort, Palmerston, F. G.Osborne, and Heneker; the Attorney-General, the Recorder of London, Sir J.C. Hippisley, Sir James Graham,

Str Sidney Smith, Sir J. Perring, Mr. Wilberforce, &c. The Royal Duke was ushered in and out of the Senate-house by the firing of cannon, the ringing of bells, &c.

After the installation, the Chancellor gave his grand dinner in the Cloisters of Nevill's-court, Trinity College, which were fitted up for the reception of about a thousand persons. Of the entertainment it is but justice to say, that never was one upon so large and liberal a scale conducted with more comfort and regularity. It is needless to add, that turtle, venison, Burgundy, claret, fruits, &c. abounded. The bands of music were stationed under an elegant marquée in the centre of the grass plot of the court.

To this account of the proper ceremony of installation, we shall only add, that festivities on the occasion continued till Wednesday, ending with the ascent of Mr. Sadler in a balloon; and that upon the whole, the University of Cambridge seems to have honoured her Chancellor in a manner not less dignified and appropriate than that of her sister Oxford, in the installation of Lord Grenville. It is somewhat singular, that in both these elections the ministerial can→ didate proved unsuccessful.

have been in a state of dejection, and many fled from the city. Most fikely it was occasioned by want of caution; but it certainly will cause the ruin of this city, and its respectable inhabitants.

2. Copy of a Letter from Lord King to his Tenants, 1811.-By lease, dated 1802, you have agreed to pay the annual rent of, in good and lawful money of Great Britain. In consequence of the Jate depreciation of paper money, I can no longer accept of any bank notes at their nominal value in payment for satisfaction of an old contract. I must, therefore, desire you to provide for the payment of your rent in the legal coin of the realm; at the same time, having no other object than to receive payment of the real intrinsic value of the sum stipulated by agreement, and being desirous to avoid giving you unnecessary trouble, I shall be willing to receive payment in either of the manners following, according to your option :

1st. By payment in guineas. 2d. If guineas cannot be proeured, by a payment in Portugal gold coin, equal in weight to the number of guineas requisite to discharge the debt.

3d. By a payment in Bank-paper of a sum sufficient to purchase (at the present market price) the weight of standard gold requisite to discharge the rent. The alteration of the value of paper-money is estimated in this manner.

The price of gold in 1802, the year of your agreement, was 41. per oz. the present market-price is 41. 14s. arising from the dimibished value of paper-in that proportion an addition of 171. 10s.

per cent. in paper-money will be required as the equivalent for the payment of rent in paper.

(Signed) KING.

N B. A power of re entry and ejectment is reserved by deed in case of non-payment of rent due. -No draft will be received.

4. The King v. De YongeLord Ellenborough gave the judgment of the court in this case. The defendant had been found guilty of buying guineas at a price, in Bank of England notes, far beyond their reputed value. The trial was at Guildhall, in the sittings after Trinity term, last year, and the defendant's counsel having moved either for the verdict to be set aside, or for an arrest of judgment; and that case, together with the case of Wright, found guilty at the last summer assizes for the county of Buckingham, being heard by appeal before the judges in the Exchequer Chamber, three only of the twelve being absent, the Exchequer Chamber decided (and the judges were unanimous, even the three judges absent did not differ with them), that no prosecution under the act of Edward VI. will lie for this act ; and the court therefore ordered that the judgment against the defendant should be arrested. It is arrested accordingly.

4. The sheriffs made their report of the result of the poll for sheriffs of London and Middlesex, when there were

Mr. Alderman Birch and Mr. Heygate,

Yesterday morning a trial was made upon 'Change between a capital fire-engine belonging to the Royal Exchange Assurance Company, and an engine on a new construction, the invention of Lord Stanhope. His lordship was present the whole time to witness their performance. That belonging to the Royal Exchange Assurance Company succeeding in throwing the water to the greatest distance, both in a perpendicular and horizontal direction; but it could not be compared with Lord Stanhope's as to the body of water thrown at one time,

5. The Rev. Matthew Crawley, Professor of the Sacred Scriptures, at the college of Maynooth, read his recantation in Christ Church cathedral, Dublin, and after divine service partook of the holy communication. It is said, that this gentleman has declared, that 150 of his pupils were ready to follow his example.

6. The following is the official report of the state of His Majesty's health, on Saturday, the 6th inst. as presented to the Privy Council by the Queen's Council :

66 WINDSOR, JULY 6. "We, the underwritten, &c. &c. do hereby declare and certify, that the state of his Majesty's health, at the time of this our meeting, is not such as to enable his Majesty to resume the personal exercise of his royal functions.

That his Majesty's bodily health is but little disordered.

"That, in consequence of an accession of mental disorder subséquent to our report of the 6th of

April last, a change took place in the system of management, which had been previously adopted for his Majesty's cure. His Majesty's mental health is represented to us. by all the physicians as greatly improved since the 6th of April. We are unable, however, to ascer➡ tain what would be the effects of an immediate recurrence to any system of management which should admit of as free an ap proach to His Majesty's presence, as was allowed in a former period of His Majesty's indisposition.

Some of his Majesty's physicians do not entertain hopes of his Majesty's recovery quite so confident as those which they had expressed on the 6th of April. The persuasion of others of his Majesty's physicians, that his Ma-. jesty will completely recover, is not diminished; and they all ap. pear to agree, that there is a considerable probability of bis Majesty's final recovery; and that neither his Majesty's bodily health.' nor his present symptoms, nor the effect which the disease has yet. produced upon his Majesty's fa culties, afford any reason for thinking that his Majesty will not-ultimately recover.

"ELDON.
