known. They are certainly objects of great interest, and 
in fact the only Indians from that remote region of 
country that have ever been among us, or that in all pro- 
bability ever will visit these parts again.” 
The Royal Visit to Cambridge.—It is curious in 
connexion with the Queen’s intended visit to the Univer- 
sity of Cambridge on Wednesday next, to refer to the 
details of Queen Elizabeth’s visitin 1563. On that occa- 
sion, tragedies, orations, disputations, and other acade- 
mical exercises were recited before her Majesty. The 
list of Honorary Degrees then conferred comprises many 
distinguished names in the history of their age and 
country. The following are copied correctly from the 
University annals of the time:—Thomas Howard, Duke 
of Norfolk ; Edward Veere, Karl of Oxforde; Ambrose 
Dudley, Earl of Warwicke ; Edward Manners, Earl of 
Rutland; Thomas Ratclif, Earl of Sussex; Robert 
Dudley, Earl of Leicestre ; Edward Clinton, Lord High 
Admiral; William Howard, Lord Chamberlain; Henry 
Carew, Lord Hunsden; Sir William Cecil, Secretary ; 
Sir Francis Knolls, Vice Chamberlain. Thomas Henage, 
John Ashley, Richard Bartue, William Cooke, Edmond 
Cooke, Esquires. Historians differ as to the unanimity 
which prevailed amongst the learned doctors of the 
University, on account of the political and religious acer- 
ities which other leading circumstances of those changing 
times gave rise to; but Fuller states with regard to this 
royal visit, that ‘‘acts being ended, degrees conferred, 
university officers well rewarded, and all persons pleased, 
her Majesty went on her progress, and the scholars 
returned to their studies.” Fuller relates, however, 
the following circumstance, which, besides being some- 
what characteristic of her Majesty, proves also, that 
although she was very well pleased, as well as the 
University in general, there was one person and a 
very distinguished one at that time and afterwards, 
who was far from being equally so. This was the cele- 
brated Thomas Cartwright. Fuller says—‘‘ He (Cart- 
wright), and Thomas Preston, then Fellow of King’s Col- 
lege, afterwards Master of Trinity Hall, were appointed 
two of the four disputants in the Philosophy Act before 
the Queen. Cartwright had dealt most with the Muses, 
Preston with the Graces, adorning his learning with 
comely carriage, graceful gesture, and pleasing pronun- 
ciation. Cartwright disputed like a great, Preston like 
a gentile scholler, being a handsome man ; and the Queen 
(upon parity of deserts) alwaies preferred propernesse of 
person in conferring her favours. Hereupon with her 
Jooks, words, and deeds, she favoured Preston, calling him 
her scholler, as appears by his epitaph in Trinity Hall 
chappell, which thus beginneth— 
* Conderis hoc tumulo Thoma Prestone scholarem 
Quem dixit Princeps Elizabetha suum.’ 
Insomuch for his good disputing and excellent acting in 
the tragedy of “ Dido,” she bestowed on him a pension of 
20lib. a year, whilst Cartwright received{neither reward 
nor commendation, whereof he not only complained to 
his inward{ friends in Trinity College, but also after her 
Majesty’s neglect of him, [began {to {wade into divers 
opinions against her ecclesiastical government. But Mr. 
Cartwright’s followers, who lay the foundation of his dis- 
affection in the discipline blished in his i 
not carnall discontentment, creditnot the relation. Adding, 
moreover, that the Queen did highly commend though not 
reward him. But soon after he went beyond the seas, and 
after bis travel returned a bitter enemy to the hierarchy.’” 
Queen Elizabeth herself on this occasion delivered a Latin 
oration before the assembled members of the University, 
in the Senate House. 
Diplomacy in China.—We copy the following amusin 
story from the Standard of Thursday, which it published 
on the alleged authority of a letter from a Naval Officer : 
« p.m. the Captains in full-dress (thermometer 
100) met at Government House; all the troops, officials, 
and public being present to witness the ratification of the 
treaty of peace, which was done in great form, under 
salutes from the forts and ships. The Chinese did not 
seem to care about it, but it was some comfort to us to 
find that they felt the heat as much as we did ; but when 
dinner came the scene was different. We sat down in 
white jackets, about fifty. The Commissioners appeared 
quite at their ease. They drank an enormous quantity of 
wine; chatted, laughed, and finished every glass, turning 
it over to show it was empty, and helping themselves from 
the decanters. Old Keying, the Chief Commissioner, must 
have taken 50 large glasses of wine at least. When dinner 
was removed, the Queen and Emperor of China were 
drunk in one toast, with three times three. We then 
drank to Keying’s health, who would not be done out of 
his glass, but drank too, He then gave us a Chinese song 
—such noises. What do you think of the Emperor’s 
uncle singing a song? After this he called upon the 
Governor, Sir H. Pottinger, who gave us an English song, 
when Wang, the second Commissioner, gave us another 
Chinese one, and called on another Englishman, and then 
the old Tartar General, whose performance ‘surpasses all) 
description: such a collection of noises I never heard) |’May 
before. He then called on Lord Saltoun, who gave us al 
jolly song, when old’ Keying commenced again :\and 80) 
passed the evening till near 11 ‘o’clock, the old fellows} 
taking wine enough for six at least, and walking off 'pretty| 
Steady.’’ ‘ | 
Lord Rosse’s Telescope.—We havé already, on more| 
than one occasion, noticed the gigantic telescope now con-| 
structing by the Earl of Rosse. ‘The Rev. Dr. Robinson,| 
the astronomer of Armagh, thus describes it —* The 
speculum, which weighs three tons, has been ground to} 
figure, and can be polished in a day. The tube, partly a) 
cubic chamber where the mirror is fixed, and partly a) 
cylinder of inch-deal, strongly hooped, and eight feet! 
diameter at its centre, is complete. ‘The ‘massive centres! 
on which the telescope is to turn are in their place, and the 
apparatus which supports the speculum, which is of wire, 
and of great weight, is also complete. The telescope is not 
tofbe turned to any part of the sky, but limited to a range 
of half an hour on each side of the meridian, through which 
its motion will be given by powerful clock-work, indépen- 
dent of the observer. For this purpose it stands between 
two pieces of masonry of Gothic architecture, which har- 
monises well with the {castle. One of these pillars will 
sustain the galleries for the observer, and the other the 
clockwork and other machinery, one of which is finished, 
and the other nearly completed. An extremely elegant 
arrangement of counterpoises is intended to balance the 
enormous mass, 60 that a comparatively slight force only 
will be required to elevate or depress it, much of which is 
also completed, and Lord Rosse considers that a couple 
of months will be sufficient to have the instrument fit for 
trial, The arrangements will not permit the examination 
of an object at any time, but only when near the meridian, 
when objects are best seen. So large a telescope will always 
require the most favourable circumstances of air, &c. and 
there will always be enough of objects at any given time 
to employ it fully. The aperture is six feet, and the focal 
length fifty-two feet.” 
March of Iniellect.—There is no knowing bow far our 
American friends are to carry the science of music ; but 
the following quotation from the New-York Herald shows 
that it can be put to uses which Mozart and Haydn did 
not dream of in their philosophy :—‘‘ Mr. Russell, the 
Vocalist.—The attempt of this distinguished vocalist to 
give the tent scenes of ‘‘ Richard III.’’ through the me- 
dium of song was triumphantly successful on Thursday 
night, and his success has emboldened him to proceed 
still further with these singular adaptations. We perceive 
he will give Cato’s soliloquy on the immortality of the 
soul at his next concert, in the same fashion.” The 
Morning Chronicle suggests, as a subject for Mr. Russell’s 
next adaptation, the American President’s Message. 
Tab. 
Poxicr.—Unton Haui.—Thursday having been appointed for 
resuming the inquiry into the alleged charges against Mr. Isaac 
Bridgeman, minister of St. John’s Chapel, Walworth, and John 
Bridgeman, his son, of stealing a leaden coffin and the remains of 
the late Mr. T. G. Tawney, the Court from an early hour in the day 
was very much crowded, although the case did not come on until 
after three o’clock. 1kson, counsel for Mr. Tawney’s 
family, on entering the Court said, that since he was last there, 
the Secretary of State had recommended her Majesty’s pardon 
to any of the accomplices concerned in the disinterment of the 
remains, except the person who actually broke open the tomb. At 
present he wasnot prepared with further evidence against the pri- 
soner, but from disclosures recently made he had reason to believe 
wou ion, implicati 
another party in the offence. He, however, had pledged himself 
that the final hearing should take place before the next sessions, 
in order that the charge might undergo investigation before 
another tribunal, in the event of a committal; but, under the 
circumstances, he would not produce further evidence unless it 
was again adjourned, and he hoped, therefore, that it might he 
allowed to stand over for that purpese. Mr. Bodkin, on behalf 
of defendants, opposed the application, on the ground that fre- 
quent adjournments had taken place, to which he made no 
objection, anxious that every opportunity should be afforded Mr. 
Tawney of producing all the evidence he could to establish the 
charge, if he wasin a condition to do so. Now, however, as 
postponement, 
dence adduced against the elder defendant, and said that there 
were strong reasons for believing that he was cognizant of what 
took place in the burial-ground attached to his own chapel 
the night of the 6th September; he therefore held both defendants 
to bail to answer the charge at the ensuing sessions of the Central 
Criminal Court. 
xT. — On Thursday Anthony Willett, a person of 
respectable appearance, was charged with feloniously forging 4 
bill of exchange, by altering the sum from 41. 10s. to 141. 108-, with 
intent to defraud Mr, Thomas Tiltman, fruiterer, of ‘Tavistock- 
row, Covent-garden. The prosecutor stated that on the 30th 
May last, prisoner, with whom he had had some dealings, called

immediately returned it to prisoner. He did not at the time 
e i e stamp, and heard nothing more of prisoner 01 the 
pill till the early part of September, when he received a letter from 
Mr. Crocker, a solicitor, demanding payment ofa pill of 147. 10s., 
drawn by prisoner, and purporting to have been accepted by pro- 
secutor on the 28th May. Knowing that he had not accepted any 
pill for such an amount, he called on Mr. Crocker, and was 
there shown the bill in question, which he at once identified as 
the samehe had accepted for 42, 10s., but a figure of 1 had subse- 
quently been placed before the 4, and the body filled up with the

which had been placed in his hands by 8, and upon 
which he had issuéd a writ against prosecutor for the recovery of

that prosecutor accepted the bill-as it there appeared, thathe did 
so for the purpose, of meeting another bill of a similar amount, 
and that the prosecutor would willingly have accepted for a much 
larger amount had he wished it. Mr. Twyford said he should 
leave a jury to decide that question, and committed the prisoner 
to Newgate for trial.
