Cavendish, and pfesu-mpt.ve heir, it' we may so call him, to the title off hike of Devonshire, having come forward as candidate for the representation of the University of Cambridge, Mr. rtluerson (;o avoid weakening the party by division) has withdrawn, in his favour. There are "two other candidates, Mr. (J. Bankes, Secretary to the Board of Control, (whose brother, was defeated in two contests,) and Mr. Williams. Mr. Bankes offers himself on the Anti-Catholic interest. Dr. Cliundler, Dr. Plnllpotts, and Dr: Russell, are all named us .divines likely to succeed to the vacant see of Oxford. A piquant story is in circulation relative to the ad- vancement of the Lord Chief JtistIce Best to the peer- age it is ;;¡¡jd ti¡at sonic little time back he was waited upon by the Lord Chancellor, who informed him that it was a settled arrangement that he should he forth- with promoted to a seat in the upper house. TheChief Justice heard the news with apparent indifference, at the same time demanding a short time for considera- tion. At the appointed hour he gave a decided nega- \m' t? ir-°|,0"i0n of Lord Lyndhurst. 1 he v^t f T ''J* ? coniniands were conveyed to the hX-.tlr V* aSS,'rted bJ? an autograph htto), moment f-r^' s<'e l,im-Ctjie earliest possible lis re.-eption was cordial, and tiie roval VVt^ txpicsyed at the refusal qj the intended ho- ti '/tl Ie r' P'y m°* Justice went to say, ia ie unceremonious manner in which di^nitv was, as it were, toiced ripyn hiwy was the principal motive •S-I'H ,7°^S'VF"^ The seemed surprised, and tS V- T- "!01 Chancellor has exceeded my instruc- 01 ,W were, to submit the proposed arrange- men tor your consideration and approval." is In' I tf "obsprve rhat this condes. ension was fbl- wT! i HmmchaN? <11'(|'iies ce. n c e. —-Morn.

It app< jars that two sail ° t[he l.ine liad arrived tliere, and two more were on tlwir way from Malta. It was reported there that these foil" sitil of the line were to take on board four regiments, and convey them to the island of Poroq ut other-accounts state that they were sroing to the Dardanelles, We have no intelligence respecting the alleged de- • eat ot the Russians n Turkey, but their silence is very suspicious. Letters received in Paris stale that U occurred before Silistria on the 20th of April, O. S. ie i\uremberg Correspondent is inclined to think that the rcpol,tis exaggerated, but that it is very pro- bable that tbe Russians have been obliged to fall back to wait tor reinforcements. 11 An article from Bucharest of the 5th Mav, says that the new campaign is opened according to the Russian accounts 120,000 men are to pass the Danuhe.

They claim some advantages in Livadia under General Church.
