after the election had been announced to his Lordship, they were entertained by him at a very sumptuous dinner. On the following morning the deputation, which was joined by a large number of Members of the Senate usually resident in London, proceeded from the Thatched-House Tavern, in St. James's-street, to the Chancellor's residence in Arlington

street.

Having arrived at the Chancellor's residence, and being introduced in due form, the ViceChancellor addressed his Lordship in an appropriate speech. The rev. gent. expressed the great regret which the death of his Royal Highness, the late Chancellor, had excited in the University, and lamented the loss it had sustained. In speaking of the new Chancellor, Dr. French observed, that his disinterested public conduct and his private virtues were so well known that it was unnecessary for him to attempt to eulogize his exalted character.

The necessary oaths were then administered and the statutes of the University presented to his Lordship; after which he was addressed by the Public Orator in a very eloquent Latin speech, at the conclusion of which the Chancellor addressed the Deputation at great length. The Duke of Northumberland, Lord Prudhoe, Lord Bayning, Lord Brecknock, &c., were present during the ceremony.

At a Congregation on Tuesday last, a letter from the Marquis Camden, accepting the high bonour conferred upon him, was read to the Senate.

At a Congregation on Wednesday, his Grace the Duke of Northumberland was appointed High Steward of this University, in the place of the Right Hon. the Earl of Hardwicke, deceased.

At the same Congregation, Mr. C. Wordsworth, of Trinity College, and Mr. Lofft, of King's College, were appointed Examiners for the Pitt Scholarship.

THE death of Mr. Sikes, of Guilsborough, is noticed in the usual place; but the loss of such a person cannot be past over without a word of the gratitude and reverence which all ought to feel, and which very many do feel, for his character and memory. His thorough knowledge of divinity-his sound judgment on all the more difficult parts of it-his love of church order his high and unbending principle--his munificence his active, useful, Christian life his true faith-his fervent, but calm and pure, piety, these were the qualities which entitle hin to love, and gratitude, and bitter regret. They who know what the words high churchman' and Church-of-England piety' means, bless God that so bright and genuine an example of both was so long held forth to the

world; and while they lament that they can see its light no longer shining among them, will treasure the precious lessons which it afforded, and will remember with joy the blessing and the peace which such a faith and such piety impart. "The righteous is taken from the evil to come ;" and no one can doubt that, as Mr. Sikes had already seen but too much which was entirely opposed to his views, his wishes, and his desires for the church, so his death has rescued him from seeing much which would have caused him yet deeper affliction. The course which he and they who think with him loved and followed so long may, perhaps, be renounced, but it will be for " generations yet for to come" to see on which course God bestows his choicest blessings.

THE ANSWER OF THE BISHOP ΤΟ THE ADDRESS OF THE ARCH DEACON AND CLERGY OP THE OF EXETER.

ARCHDEACONRY

"Palace, Exeter, Dec. 18, 1834. "DEAR MR. ARCHDEACON,-I have received the communication made to me by yourself and the clergy of your archdeaconry, with much satisfaction. This testimony of the confidence in the bishops cannot fail to strengthen our hands and hearts in the important work in which we may be invited to join.

"On the first particular mentioned in your address the settlement of the tithe question I have no hesitation in assuring you, that it is not only my own earnest wish, but also the wish, as I firmly believe, of the bishops, as a body, to support any equitable measure for that purpose which
