CAMBRIDGESHIRE.

The foundation stone of Downing College was laid on the 18th May by Dr. Annesley the master, assisted by the principal members of the University. The stone contained the best collection of coins of the present reign that could be procured; with the first Stereotype plate, cast in the foundry of the Univesity, on the improved principle of Earl Stanhope. After the ceremony, the new master entertained the principal members of the University with an excellent dinner at the Red Lion Inn.

The circumstances which led to this erection are as follows:-Sir George Downing, Bart. of Gamlinglay Park, in the county of Cambridge, in the year 1717, devised all his valuable estates in the counties of Cambridge, Bedford, and Suffolk, to his nearest relations, being first cousins, &c. to each for life, with remainder to their issue in succession; and in case they all died without issue, he devised those estates to trustees, who, with the consent and approbation of the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, and the masters of St. John's and Clare Hall, should found a college within the University of Cambridge, which should be called Downing College.

Sir George died 1749; and, upon the death of Sir Jacob Garrat Downing, in 1761, without issue, the rest of Sir George's relations named in this will being also then dead without issue, the estates devised were claimed by the University for the use of the intended college.

The validity of Sir George Downing's will, after many years litigation, was at length established: and the charter for the incorporation of Downing College having been fully examined and considered by the Lords of the Privy Council, and their recommendation of it being confirmed by his Majesty's express approbation, the Great Seal was affixed to it by Lord Chancellor Loughborough, on the 22d of September 1800.

The present Collegiate Body, appointed by the charter of Downing College, are as follow:

Master-Francis Annesley, LL. D. member of St. John's, and late member of Parliament for Reading, in Berkshire.-Appointed 1800.

· Professor of the Laws of England-Edward Christian, M. A. member of St. John's.

Besides the above, a professor of medicine, thirteen fellows, six scholars, at 501. per annum for four years, two chaplains, a librarian, and other officers, will be appointed, with adequate salaries.

A member of a Scotch University, with certain qualifications, is eligible to be a professor of medicine at this college.

The annual salary of the Master is 600l.; of a Professor, 2001.; of a fellow, 1001.; or in that proportion.

The Rev. Herbert Marsh, B. D. Fellow of St. John's, is unanimously elected Lady Margaret's professor of divinity, in the room of the late Dr. Mainwaring.

At Keswick, aged 103, Mrs. Hannah Wilson, formerly house-keeper to the late Governor Stephenson. In recording this instance of unusual longevity, we trust some account of the deceased will not be uninteresting to our readers. She was born at Cockermouth in the year 1705, which town she quitted at the age of fourteen, and became a domestic in the above respectable family, which she faithfully served for a period of seventy-five years, comprehending five successions of masters. As a reward for her care and fidelity her latter years were made comfortable through the kindness of her late worthy master Rowland Stephenson of London, Esq. making the whole period of her dependence apon one family very little short of ninety years. She enjoyed all her faculties till within a few weeks of her death, and what will be deemed remarkable, cut two new teeth after her eighty-fifth year. She lived in four reigns, and was regarded by many as the most faithful living historian of the place, the events of the year 1715 being not wholly obliterated, and those of 1745 perfectly fresh in her recollection. It may be further observed, that the deceased has for some time survived every individual whom at the age of fourteen she found an inhabitant of Keswick. Her remains were followed to the grave by many of the principal inhabitants, a respect becomingly paid to her fair character and venerable years.

At Tom But, in Lamplugh, aged 92, Mrs. Frances Jackson.

highly esteemed by all who had the honour of her acquaintance, her memory will long be revered, as (among others) her death is greatly lamented by the poor of the neighbourhood, to whom she was a constant and liberal benefactress. She sustained a long and painful illness with a truly pous resiguation, evincing a hope full of immortality..

GLOUCESTERSHIRE.

When the Right Hon. Charles Bathurst made his public entry as a candidate for Bristol, the populace, instead of receiving him with the same kindness which he had experienced on former occasions, greeted him with hisses and groans. They continued their disorderly conduct to the White Lion Inn,

where

where they became outrageous, declaring that they would not be represented by a friend to popery, and proceeded to demolish the windows; and on some of the perpetrators of this outrage being taken into custody, the mob proceeded to the council house, the windows of which they also demolished, and con tinued their riotous conduct till near midnight, maltreating every one who showed a blue ribbon. The next morning, however, Mr. Bathurst was elected along with Evan Baillie, Esq. one other candidate only having appeared, who was put in nomination by a gentleman, who was not a freeholder or burgess of the city, and of course ineligible to nominate. The hisses and groans of the populace were incessant until Mr. Bathurst got into his chair, when they manifested every disposition to do him personal injury. When he had passed only a few yards into High-street, he was assaulted with stones, and a bludgeon was thrown at his head, which would probably have given him a fatal blow had he not caught it upon his arm, which was accidentally elevated. Having also re-› ceived several severe blows from the stones thrown at him, he was obliged to seek refuge in a house, and the blue cavalcade to return; and such was the popular outery, that every ribbon of that colour instantly disappeared. Mr. Baillie was heartily cheered, and appeared to be as much respected as the other was out of favour.

Married. At Gloucester, Thynne Howe Gwynne, Esq. second son of T. H. G. Esq. of Buckland, Brecon, to Miss Mary Gorges, youngest daughter of the late Richard Gorges, Esq. of Eye, Hereford.

At Bristol, John Bruce, Esq. Captain of the Royal Glamorgan Militia, to Miss Sarah Austin, second daughter of the late Rev. Hugh Williams Austin, of the island of Barbadoes.

At Keynsham, Robert Conway, Esq. of Netherbury, Dorset, to Miss J. M. Simpson of Keynsham.

Died.-At Bristol, aged 75, William Gibbons, Esq. one of the aldermen of that city, an eminent ironmaster and merchant; the greater part of whose long life had been employed in pursuits honourable to himself, and highly useful to the community. In the years 1785 and 1786, when the Irish propo sitions and the commercial treaty with France were before Parliament, the minister, and the leading men of the day received from him such important information, that they publicly acknowledged their obligations to his consummate abilities, which to use their own words, "entitled him to the thanks of the country at large." In 1798 and 1805, he was the principal means of preventing a heavy tax being laid on that most necessary of metals, iron; and the trade each time evinced their sense of his service by a vote of thanks, accompanied by a handsome present of plate. His attention to the interests of his native city, to his duty as a magistrate, and his strict honour and integrity in mercantile concerns, gained him the esteem and confidence of all who knew him. As a private individual, he was religious without parade, charitable without ostentation, humble without meanness, and such was the suavity of his manuers, that they secured him the good opinion of those who were strangers to the qualities of his heart. To say that such a man filled the different relations of domestic life, with honour to himself and pleasure to those who surrounded him, that his loss will be deeply regretted by his relations and deplored by every one who had the happiness of knowing him, would indeed be supertinous, but from the hope, that the contemplation of such a character may stimulate others to imitate his virtues and follow his example,

Captain Dunning, of the Wiltshire Militia, a gentleman universally respected, and whose loss is sincerely regretted by all his acquaintance.

After a lingering illness, the Rev. Samuel Ashe, late rector of Langley Barrell, Wilts.

At Bristol, Mr. Thomas Winwood, iron-founder. He was a truly honest man, and a sincere Christian; and, although painfully afflicted for several years, he bore his sufferings with the most exemplary resignation to the div.ne will. He filled the several characters of the tender husband, affectionate father, steady friend, and upright tradesman, with undeviating zeal and honour. As he lived universally respected, so he will be long and sincerely lamented by bis surviving family, and by all who knew his worth and integrity of cha

racter.
