The heads of Colleges at Cambridge have again passed over

Dr. LAMB inn the nomination of candidates for the Vice-Chancellorship. Last year it was Dr. LAMB'S turn to serve the office ; but his Liberal principles rendered him objectionable to the Tory majority of his brethren; who chose, in defiance of all precedent, and of decency, to set him aside. They have repeated the insult this year,-thus doing their best to convert the University into a factions club. The Heads of Colleges are closely connected with the Church as well as the Uni- versity; and this proceeding only serves to mark more distinctly the determined hostility of the Clerical Oligarchy to those principles of Reform which will soon be brought to bear upon the Establishment in all its branches. Dr. A ItCHDALL is the new Vice-Chancellor.
