At a meeting of Convocation, held at Oxford on Wednesday,

and very numerously attended, the Janke of Wellington was unanimously elected Chancellor of the University, in the room of Lord Grenville. The I hike, according to the etiquette observed on such occasions, was of.eourse absent. The attempt to get up an opposition MIS a complete failure. The installation of the new Chancellor will not, it is believed, take ;dace until next June, when there will be a grand commemoration, and. it is expected to be the most splendid ceremony ever known on any sun ilcir occasion.—Herald.

.A very numerous meeting " of the friends of our Venerable Esta- blishment" was held on Tuesday week, at the National Schoolroom in Cheltenham. Resolutions expressive of cordial approbation of the doctrines of the Church of England, of indignation at the attempts of Dissenters and schismatics to overthrow the Establishment, and of de- termination to resist firma by the formation of associations and other means, were passed with much cheering. Several very ardent speeches were made by the clergymen present ; who, to the 'lumber of seven or eight, addressed the meeting.

ThFre was a numerous meeting at Bristol on Tuesday, when resolu- tions in favour of supporting the Church Establishment were passed, and several very zealous High Church harangues delivered.

A similar meeting was held on Thursday at Liverpool, in consequence of ti teimmunication from a Central Committee now sitting in London.

The Nottingham Review contains a long account of the interview be- tween the Deputation of the Nottingham meeting of Dissenters (the Reverend Hugh Hunter and Mr. W. Howitt) with Earl Grey, on presenting their memorial. His Lordship told the Deputation, that " lie vas sorry to find that the memorial prayed for the separatiou of Church aild State. 'The expressiun of eueli sweeping desire" foe the destruction of the Establishment %void(' embarrass Al inisters, would alarni both Houses of Parlianient, and startle the country. Ile wished they had confined themse!ves to the removal of those disabilities teen. nected with marriage, burial, registration, and such matters ; for on these heads there existed both in himself and his colleaguve, every dis-- position to relieve them." His I.ordship further added, thet if per- sonal disabilities %Vert removed, he could not emu-vivo what meted grievance would preSS 111)011 Dissentt-rs ; "1/41 they want entirely to .t4.ts

" Precisely ! 'That vcas iv hit they desired.•' ()11 this Earl flrey clued, that he should say decidedly, he should give his streimons or net-
