“D)REPARATIONS are at length mak- 
4. ing for the ereftion of DownineG 
COLLEGE at Cambridge, on the ground 
which lies oppofite to the front of Ema- 
nuel, and on the left of the fhreet’ which 
leads from that College to Pembroke. 
The architeét is Mr. Witkins, whofe 
knowledge of Grecian models gives 
reafon to hope that the edifice will be 
worthy of the Univerfity which it is 
intended to adorn.* The elftablifnment 
is to confit of a Mafter, a Brofeffor of 
the Laws of England, a Profetfor of Me- 
dicine, fixteen Fellows, and fx Scholars. 
Two of the Feliows are to be in holy 
orders,,and the reft, after the ufual ftand- 
ing are to become barrilters at law, or 
doctors of phyfic. The Mafter, the two 
Profeffors, and three of the Fellows, have 
been named in the charter; and are 
Dr. Francis Annefley, Mafer ; Sir Bufick 
Harwood, Profefor of Medicive; Mr. 
Chriftian, Profeffor of Law; and’ Meflis. 
Lens, Frere, and Meek, Fellows. It is 
underftocd that medicine is the branch of 
{cience which will be chiefly cultivated in 
this inftitution; and that an endeavour will 
be made by means of it to refcue our 
Englith univerfities from the opprobrium 
under which they have laboured owing to | 
neglect of this moft uleful of human 
arts,-

Examinations previoufly to the obtaining 
of Degrees, has been attended with’ the 
happicft effects on the application of the 
fudents. It has refcued that univerfity 
from the charges ef Gibbon and others; 
and clofe fludy is now as eflential to the 
attainment of honours at Oxford as at 
any univerfity in Europe, A new ftatute 
is expected, by which every ftudent will 
be obliged to undergo two public exami- 
nations, one in the claffics, and one in the 
fciences, at the interval of two years be. 
tween each, before he can obtain a Bae 
chelor’s degree ; and by the fame ftatute, 
the prefent examination for a Mafter’s dee 
gree is tobe difcontinued. 
~ Sin GeorGce STaunton, having 
tranflated into the Chinefe language a 
Treatife on the Vaccine Inoculation,’ (the 
firtt Englith work that ever was publifhed _ 
in China), a general inoculation for the 
Cow-pox has taken place in the pepu- 
lous city of Canton. So far have this 
jealous people got the better of their pre. 
judices in this inflance, that a very laroe 
fubfcription was raifed for eftablining an 
inflitution in the city of Canton, by means 
of which the ineculation is to be fpread 
into the neighbouring country, and the 
matter diffeminated into every province of 
the empire. ; 
The Papers of the late illu&rious Lord 
Macartney have been confided to Mr, 
Barrow, by his Lordthip’s executors ; 
and they will foon be given to the publlic, 
accompanied by full and accurate Me- 
moirs of his Lordfhip’s long and aétive life.
